A scab is someone who crosses a picket line to fly. One example would be 9E striking and myself (a Pinnacle pilot) calling scheduling and saying "I will fly". Of course you would have to have a gun to my wife's head for me to do this- but you get the point.
I have a current scab list and there are quite a few pilots flying for regionals that are on it... Of course a good percentage on the guys on the list are already dead.
What didja do, shoot them??
...I probably would have (j/k). I am another Pinnacle driver, and I am more than willing to STRIKE!!! I am so sick and tired of of hearing, "oh my, we are so close SOMETHING is gonna happen next time we meet with the company." Then in cousin Clive's last memo he states that we have a very good offer on the table for our pilots, but they don't wanna agree to it...(the dual-qual nonsense). Then at the end he says, "It is time we get this done.
" Huh? You're blankety blankin right it is time we have this done, but you and the rest of the gang keep finding new ways to hold us up. You DON'T want it done Clive!!!!!
Anyway...rant over.
