Huggy,
I know you post on a lot of forums, and you and I have actually met, we have a lot of mutual friends. Respect the chit out of you brother, you're a good dude... but in this case you're 100% wrong. SCABS should NEVER be tolerated, or forgiven. When you're willing to hang it all out on the line, and some d-bag takes that as an opportunity to better themselves.... there is something truely flawed with that person. There is a reason they couldn't get hired and needed to cross a picket line. I've flown with SCABS, to a man everyone of them had a major character flaw or personality defect. I lived it as a kid, watching my dad take a night manager job at a gas station (Vietnam vet, Navy pilot) to keep my brother and I clothed and fed, refusing to sell his soul or his brothers and sisters out, keeping the picket line intact. Move on?
NEVER.
Let me put it in terms a military guy can understand... a SCAB is that guy who weasels out of deployment. Then, as you cross the horizon, off to do Gods work, willing to die for your kids future and county, leaving your family and kids behind, he's trying to bang your wife.
NEVER forgive, ever.

It's easy to hate scabs, especially if you have never had the opportunity to be one. Talk's cheap!
Spoken like a SCAB. Opportunity or not, if you don't know, with absolute 100% certainty which side of the line you'd be on... you've got a major problem.
