Being a scab on the list isn't that much of a problem for your career really. Look at all the ones that have been forgiven by the union. The message is that pay enough money and the problem goes away. Basically the union is using blackmail. I myself am not on a scab list as I work for comair. If I was ever placed on one would I worry? absolutely not. In fact the MEC chair at ASA is an eastern scab. Guess all you have to do is drink the union koolaid and pay lots of dues to get forgiven. No biggie. Also if its treally a problem you can always not commute. Theres always ways to get around hardcore union thugs. They think with misguided passions not their heads.
