How many of our 5100 pilots are scabs? What about all the scabs at other ALPA carriers? How many are at United? What about the hundreds hired at other airlines? They are everywhere. Don't get me wrong, ALPA blew it when it "forgave" scabs and welcomed them (their money) back into ALPA. What thing can/should be done? How can you get rid of them now? I'd love to see them all lose their jobs, but I don't see how this can be done. I'm sure many of the over 60 guys are probably scabs too (the strike was 25 years ago).

So you don't want to support any airline that has one or more scabs on property? If one ALPA airline doesn't get a good contract, how does that affect other ALPA airlines? If CAL gets an industry leading contract, other ALPA airlines can follow. See a reason to support ALPA airlines? We are supposed to be "one" union. The whole scab thing sucks, but what can be done now? One of the reasons I upgraded is to avoid scabs. There are many threads already on the scab issue. What new thing can be said on this one?

I do agree with your ALPA views, but I don't have an answer to the problem.
