I do not take that attitude with some of the crawlback CAL scabs esp those who were on the picket line for over 18 months. They were promised the moon and then completely hosed by ALPA's incompetence in the court room. Some even went back when the picket lines were suspended yet they are on the list.

Don't forget by the time of the EAL strike everyone should have known a strike against Frankie meant holy war due to what happened at CAL. Lets see 18 months of gut wrenching defeat vs 1 month before victory? One guy is villified as a scum sucking scab, the other saluted for his dedication and principals. Sorry don't necessarily see it exactly that way.
