Other than that statement pertaining to airline pilots, typeunkwn, can you please elaborate as to why Packrat needs to be on meds, or up the dosage?

What if, you're the only pilot available in the company. You have to get to Rome to cover a trip back to the U.S. The SOC gives you your marching orders to travel to Rome which happens to be on NAI. No other seats available on any other carrier on the planet. Do you dig your heals in, refuse the trip at the risk of losing your job or do you take the trip.

At the end of the day, after 40 years in the biz, I know carriers will take actions as required to mitegate delays using most economical means in auctioning their plan. Even if it means putting crews on competing carriers, be they U.S. or foreign.

For what it's worth, I told them thanks, but no thanks. I wasn't interested in a 3-year non-compete bond.

They were very nice in their response and wished me luck.

Pilots who want to sell themselves short and work at NAI are not scabs.......

Scabs didn't have to pay a training bond for the job.

Scabs are those who crossed picket lines to fly struck work. That, and only that, is what makes a scab.

No, I get the point. You are making a comparison between two very different things in an attempt to be cute.

Exactly, Scabs didn't have to shell out money to sell themselves out.

Need a loan to cover that training bond?
