What the hell are you talking about you uninformed POS.

First off our strike went from November 1983 to October 1985.

Secondly the pilot that wrote this heads up our strike preparation committee and is one of the finest Union activists we have.

Your post reminds me of this turd-ball UAL Pilot I once had the miss-pleasure of meeting at a hotel by LAX.

We used to layover at this flea-bag hotel called the Viscount that had non-existent van service. One day, a full-term striker Captain, A People Express First Officer and myself a lowly 1987 hire caught the hotel van from a neighboring property, As we exited the bus, this fat-slob in a United uniform is waiting to get on the van and waits until we were at least 50 yards down the road and yells at the top of his bovine lungs "SCABS".

I immediately dropped my bags and turned around with the intent of confronting said swine when my Captain grabbed me by the arm and said "Don't bother, that guy will never know what its like to walk a picket line for 2 years and ain't worth breaking a sweat for".

Words of wisdom from a man whom I admire to this day. Try and remember that over 90% of us at CAL didn't cross a picket line and many of us walked the walk and talked the talk for almost two years.
