I knew a guy who told everybody he was going to Boeing but I quizzed him, as he wasn't American, and after some careful questioning, he did admit he was not actually going to Boeing. It would not surprise me if he was in Colombia flying the 787.

A number of airlines around the world are using these guys. Mostly foreign carriers. So, if you really want to support Boeing pilots, stop flying Boeings. We all know that is not going to happen. Just stop throwing the word Scab around like Candy, it's irresponsible.
OK, Boeing has abused AMPA pilots since at least 2012, and by your own words "Boeing came up with the idea". So why exactly aren't these Boeing's scabs?

They crossed a picket line and flew struck work. "throwing the word scab around like candy"? Gimme a break, these guys ARE scabs. I'll give you that they aren't AMPA members, but the Avianca debacle was organized and facilitated by BCA, they ARE Boeing's scabs. No?
