That said, my Dad, was a Frontier pilot during that entire time, and in-between being furloughed 7 times at Frontier while all of this was going on and driving a moving truck to make sure his kids were fed - he didn't cross a picket line at either company. He has integrity. His decisions financially damaged our family when he could have jumped over other pilots on the list for financial gain, but I commend him for not doing so. He could have crossed as the others did, but he knew that it was wrong. A kind of wrong that never goes away. We need to remember the past. To simply choose to accept or forget what the SCABS did is to disparage the memory and integrity of the many who chose to hold the line and not stab their brothers/sisters in the back when times got tough. Just the perspective of a kid growing up in an airline family that is proud of his Dad.
