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?

The airline guy on Denver Center today who yelled at the controller to "hurry up! I've got moderate turbulence!" when he was told to standby for coordination with the lower sector for the altitude request.

Flight instructor who openly discourages students love and passion for flying by commenting negatively on the students choice of apparel.

Unfortunately at my airline we have zero control over adding non revs, ever since Central Load Planning took over. If we were to get in an argument with the gate agents over it theyve been told to report us and we get to do a CP carpet dance where we are reminded "Your captains authority means nothing to us on the ground."

This isn't boot camp. I think it's funny that he did it. The only tool here is you.

I would still make a cursory check in the boarding area if i were you, since so many agents will ignore our fellow pilots. The plane won’t leave without you, so it behooves the agents to do the right thing.
