The scab thing bothers me, the scabs I have encountered in my career thus far tend to burrow their way into training departments where they behave much as 727Driver has indicated, their true colors always poorly hidden. I obviously can't speak for today's IFL , I am an alumni of the recip ,early turbine era , when our flagship was a DC4, and the 580's were just beginning to hold sway, but even then our guys and girls were going to FEDEX, Delta, SWA et al, our crucible has always refined the gold in our pilots ,on demand, all weather, all hour freight by its very nature, demands excellence from its crews, whether it's the NDB 4 circle to 30 at CYOO at mins with a gusty crosswind and 6000lbs tied down aft in a DC3 , or a 727 fighting it's way into Saltillo, or Hermosillo, the game is the game, and the hiring boards respect and honor the players. Cheers, peace ,out.
