The CA said that once they see that the CA is a scab, that the FO is simply removed and sent home and won't hear a word about it. Is/was that true?
Just asking.
Every situation was different and handled as such. Usually, the Captain was the
SCAB and the F/O's just did their job to the best of their ability and didn't engage in "idle chatter" enroute. As stupid as
SCABS were, they got the point and on most occasions, one could hear a pin drop in the cockpit. It didn't make for a very enjoyable four day trip and didn't happen that often. At United, a lot of the
SCABS ran to Denver to the training center, which was an entirely different matter.
As for a F/O being pulled off a trip, it did happen and he went home, got paid for the trip and that was it. Let's see...what's wrong with this picture ??
Have a bodacious day Mates
