Now, by definition, how is any Piedmont or for that matter PSA pilots a scab then? Was Eagle striking and nobody knew about it?
I'm not proud or happy that my pilot group voted in the TA and have no problem telling people I voted no against it but it did give us improvements and job security that we didn't have this time last year. I've yet to come across anybody who is happily gonna fly the 145s.
Welcome to the wholly owned poker game Eagle. You're no longer the only player. Piedmont is just playing the hand we've been given.
Times and things evolve so does this industry and so should the word scab! you can try and defend your groups actions all you want, but a majority of our peers are redefining the word also.
