That is all there should be to this thread . . .
That was exactly my point. Every pilot spouting this crap of calling everyone who does something they dont like a scab is stupid. Were shooting ourselves in the foot here. Listen the truth is anyone who swallows everything mgnt says is nieve and dumb, the same can be said for everyone who is on here spouting all this union retoric, if you believe everything the union says hook line and sinker your no better. Like you said a scab is a scab...period, stop bashing people for having to do what they have to do....Im making the point that if you were REALLY concerned about your brothers this would be one way you could help ease the burden, but to most on here it appears the rules of brotherhood only apply to the other guy, as long as your working and happy..Im furloughed, miserable, stressed, and not working for an alter ego, because I believe this will get better some day, but Im for sure tired of hearing a bunch of union mouthpieces saying the same ol thing over and over again....Im not calling the people who pick up open time scabs, im saying "Quit acting like its everyone else who has to sacrifice to make this job what YOU define as better, and if you dont like it then you call them scabs, This whole stupidy has been going on too long...its disgusting
