In '97 The IPA honored the Teamsters Strike, per the contract. They did not strike. Thus, FQS are not scabs. If IPA were to go on strike: Still not scabs because the FQS were not taking union jobs, simply flying while union pilots were gone. Struck goods has nothing to do with it.
When any group at UPS is on strike, its a strike last time I checked.
You clearly have no idea. You think FQS's dont take Union jobs? You really think there would be a furlough without that group?
I hope you are having fun. Meet you somewhere? Really?

Hope that wasn't directed at me. All I asked was if what they are saying is true about your crossing the picket line at another airline(s). If you can't answer the question, I guess that makes you the coward.

Perhaps we have some insight into how a scab rationalizes his behavior to himself.
Perhaps a tutorial on sympathy strikes and struck work is in order.
The 1997 Teamsters strike was supported by the IPA with a sympathy strike, and all freight was deemed struck work. ANYBODY, whether they were an IPA pilot, a management pilot, or a pilot recruited off the street, who flew that struck work, is a scab in the truest sense of the word.
Even the ones who eat Happy Meals.

So I take your silence to be admission to crossing a picket line at a previous airline like they said? IF so, it's ironic that a scab has the audacity to call someone else a "coward" or "dunderhead."
Pot meet kettle. Now I see why you are constantly under attack here.
