Oh shall we say that 90 percent of the MEC benefits in both position and pay from this. Some what goes against the code of ethics that ALPA published.
But you stay united on this issue and you will find yourself and the rest of the pilot group paying a huge price at the end with the company.
For you ignorance is bliss.
Wow, I didn't realize that a FT pilot could also be called scab now if they don't fulfill their commitment since they're occupying a job that should no longer belong to them. I would have settled for weasel but if you want to define them as scabs go ahead. I think it's a bit harsh.
