Still shaking my head at the attitude that a paying passenger, whether in uniform or not, has some obligation to check in with the cockpit crew.

Big, gold ray bans. Massive watch with an elt built in. Pleated polyester pants. Hawaiian shirt over a worn out Haines t shirt with yellow armpits. Smiling at people that can do stuff for me and ignoring everyone else. White new balance shoes in my rollaboard and a wife that spends all my $$$. That’s how he knew.

I’m posting this based on secondhand information from another forum, but thought it worthy of a TOTD nomination. The other day a SCAB traveling with his family tried to jumpseat on one of our aircraft. The CA went up the jet bridge and told him point blank he wouldn’t be allowed to occupy the jumpseat. I nominate the SCAB because -
1. He instead got a jumpseat card from the gate agent and showed up on the aircraft only to be told once again with vigor by the CA he wouldn’t be allowed to jumpseat. He whined that ‘this had never happened to him before’.
2. Since I guess he must be an ALPA dues payer now, he had the nerve to file a PDR with our MEC complaining about his treatment.
I have not had the misfortune of crossing paths with many SCABs, but his weaseling and sniveling fit my impression of a SCAB to a T. TOTD!

Legitimate question because I literally do not know. If a scab is denied a JS from the CA, does that have problems with the union from a JSing point? Eg, can that CA be called in for a talk with management? With the union JS committee chairman?
