I was a displaced into becoming a “Freedom B” pilot when the moved the ERJ145s on the Mesa Certificate over to the Freedom Cert in MCO in 2006.
But hey, we bought Virgin and APLA forgave those individuals when they brought ALPA in to give them acquisition protection.
Freedom A are not scabs, there was no struck work and no picket line to cross.
Alter-ego scum, sure, but lets be precise and not toss the "s" word around lightly.
"Pretty Confident"? You have access to all the lists, rather than smear an entire pilot group why not cross check and give us a definitive number? If for some reason you don't have the master scab or freedom A/gohjet lists, send me your email via pm.
Don't forget to check the AS list while you're at it.
