[QUOTE=Itsajob;2710053]Telling someone that the jumpseat isn’t available without reason is one thing, but if you call them a scab or tell them that you don’t give scabs a ride is another.
No, it isn’t. See above posts.
I doubt the CP or pro standards would do much, but HR doesn’t look though a union pilot lense.
Doesn’t make a whit what lens they use. As long as you don’t cross the lines mentioned previously, no harm will come to the pilot.
Being super polite and telling a pilot that you don’t want a scab in your jumpseat could be viewed the same as telling someone that you don’t allow people of color or of alternative lifestyles in your jumpseat.
This may be the most innacurate thing you’ve posted yet. Complete false equivalency, and a scab isn’t a federally protected class.
You do have a right to free speech, but that doesn’t mean that you don’t pay a price for exercising it. There are conditions to our employment. We can’t badmouth the company on social media and we can’t run around expressing racial or sexist views no matter how polite and grammatically correct our statement is. Calling someone a scab and treating them differently could be seen as discrimination.
Wrong again. Doesn’t matter how many times you say it, it’s wrong every time.
If you’re in a position to grant or deny the jumpseat you’re most likely senior to me, so have at it.
Also, the captain that I mentioned before that got time off went beyond simply questioning the lack of a pin. He really showed his lack of maturity and almost got physically confrontational. A grown man willing to get physical over a disagreement is hard to explain.
If what you claim is true, it’s the physical nature of the incident, or perceived threat of a physical altercation that drew the company’s ire, NOT the scab portion.
According to the F/O who turned him in he was told by HR and then reinforced by the chief pilot that wearing the pin is optional and that he was to keep quiet and not even point it out since that alone would be viewed as harassment by HR.
This is cute. We have numb nuts worried about the hat, but our unity pin is somehow off limits to being questioned. That’s the culture that we need to continue to leave in the rear view mirror.
This was post merger and the CP was a LUAL captain.
I’m not defending crossing the line, but only commenting on how the PC culture in HR would see things
