You might even call it karma.
ugh, this was on another thread, but I'll address it again. They are not the same situations at all. TSA was an already existing company who won flying from American for being a lower cost operator. You can be mad at AMR for putting it out there, but don't be mad at TSA for winning the flying. AMR didn't suddenly create TSA and hire all new pilots to fill a TSA seniority list in order to circumvent an Eagle contract. It's not the same situation!

scabs.... get a f#$%ing life! there are no scabs. this is a concept invented by a bunch of idiots that were ****ed off at something and had no other way to deal with it, than creating some imaginary group to alienate the people they didn't agree with.
and the fact that some still use that shows the level of ignorance in our industry. most don't even understand the meaning but they use it, because "everybody else does".
well ain't that great.
whether you work for a regional, fractional, major or 135m there is one thing you need to realize: WE ARE ALONE! ALL WE HAVE IS EACH OTHER!
if we start bashing each other then we can might as well give up.
whenever you morons decide to accept this fact you will realize that the reason we overworked and underpaid in this country compared to the rest of the world is beacuse we are all self centered and self serving. we don't think as a group but as individuals.
there are people that would give anything to be in our shoes.
the fact that they go get a job with an airline that torqued you a little bit makes them scabs???? maybe you should stop for a minute and think back to when you were an aspiring "airline pilot".
which testicle would you have given for a right seat job then.....
just a thought.
The general idea here is that if we all stick to together as regional pilots then suddenly our life would be better. That sounds an awful lot like a union, and the pilots at GoJets made a point of skrewing over the Trans States pilots. People call them names and stuff because we DO want to stick together, and they didn't! And while they don't technically qualify as scabs, that's close enough in my book.
