For someone who says he was a strong unionists along with the PE/NYA pilots and familiar with labor laws, I'm surprised that you've never tried to correct the many claims that ALPA national allowed the Scabs into ALPA.
While I never said it was labor laws that required ALPA to take all(includes Scab) or nothing that was the point and implied. Alpa does not or did not make the CAL scabs whole - it was the local union. ALPA National does not have a master scab list and I'm not sure they have a non-member list either. Both would likely be handled at local level.
Notice that I didn't use Captain Obvious because I know you are having a hard time.
Yes, the original Union, the IACP, allowed SCABS because a SCAB started the whole thing. I, and quite a few others, campaigned for ALPA to represent us and we lost. SCABS should never be allowed in a Union so I think we're on the same page with that.
You're painting us all with a pretty broad brush which is not very fair. Quite a few of us did not vote for an in-house SCAB Union and wanted ALPA back after their long absence.
Still not getting what I'm having a "hard time" over?
