So now Einstein, please explain to this forum in an intelligent manner, that is if you are capable, as to how a striking pilot, securing employment elsewhere with another company, such as waiting table at Fridays, to put food on his table, is equivalent to crossing a picket line, or scabbing? hey... I’ll give you a hint… Fridays is a restaurant, not an airline.
The 'lease' common denominator, huh? Well, that says quite a bit right there.
Of course working outside the industry during a strike isn't scabbing! Who said it was? That is exactly what you SHOULD do, of course. You really seem confused. We are talking about CROSSING A PICKET LINE HERE. Not getting a temporary job to survive the strike, which is obviously recommended.
I have been on strike, and that is exactly what I did to support my family. I also had my own 'war chest' ready, which helped us get by comfortably.
Obviously I thought you were talking about working at your company DESPITE A STRIKE AT YOUR COMPANY. Jeez.
Ps thanks for all the compliments on my intelligence. I wish I could reciprocate.
