No, scab is only when there is a strike and someone crosses the picket line and goes to work and flies a plane behind the backs of other coworkers. Obviously, the 9E situation is not scabbing, there is no strike, no picket line.

You're taking my post out of context. My point was this. You ask someone why they'd vote yes to a paycut. They'd say well I have a mortgage and family/kids to feed. All I said is that a scab gives the same reason. It's the reason, not the actual scab. Nor the guy who votes for a cut. There's no comparison between the two, we are only talking about the reasoning behind it. The reasoning to "do it" is the same. It doesn't make you a scab obviously, all I said is that the reason given is the same. What's wrong with that statement? It seems factual. There is no scabbing at 9E obviously, and that the reason given to vote yes is the same kind of reason given by a scab, which is to feed family and pay mortgage.



And legend, I know my history of scabs. The last scab was during the Spirit strike of 2010. A Falcon MD88 crew took a flight to FLL for Spirit Airlines.
