To put it another way, airline pilots look at scabs like Christians look at Judas.
After the EAL strike in 89 DAL only hired EAL SCABs and by most they were welcomed as ‘brothers’. One PAA SCAB ended up at DAL and dang if he didn’t end up in the union at DAL ... even ended up pictured in the ALPA magazine.
Some things amaze me.

In other news, Delta is appealing the Administrative Law Judge's ruling.

Even if emotionally involved, there is no need for drama. Integrity First my friend.
The DPA seeks to undermine and decertify the Air Line Pilots Association on the Delta property. The DPA never got enough cards to get a vote and never represented a Delta pilot.

"Dr. Altman commented that Complainant and her husband at one point had three children under three while Complainant attended night school earning a 3.7 GPA, and she worked at her husband's business. Dr. Altman then said 'I don't know any woman who could do that. I don't know any woman with three under three that isn't exhausted, let alone going to school."
This was used as part of his basis to medically disqualify her and ruin her career. Fortunately the tribunal saw through this idiotic and sexist bull****, saying:
"The Tribunal was struck by DU. Altman's comment about how Complainant's ability to have a career and raise small children was suggestive of mania. Dr. Altman appeared to confuse an industrious mother (not an uncommon trait in modern society) with a manic one. Also Complainant's children are grown adults. It is unclear how complainant's ability to raise in the distant past "three under three" related to her present mental wellbeing or fitness to fly."
This is incredibly embarrassing for Delta. She may or may not have violated the social media policy, I don't know or care. Delta's reaction in hiring a quack doctor to perform a punitive section 15 is beyond the pale. She deserves every penny of the 500K
