I can think of one EAL SCAB flying guppy cAP in IAH.
And SWA via Airtran

(Specifically Continental)
Looking for one that would include those later given absolution.
Don’t think that there are too many Scabs around due to attrition, the CAL scabs were forgiven by ALPA for the betterment of a greater cause

They were not forgiven. They’re still scabs

As someone new to the industry, WHY were there soooo many (several thousand) from CAL and UAL alone back in the 80s?

I read chapter 19 in Flying The Line (I could not put it down it was so gripping) but am still amazed at the sheer number from back then.

Several dozen from then.......sure.....even maybe a few hundred would make sense, but THOUSANDS from CAL and UAL vs just TWO from Spirit in 2010.

Why so many per capita in the 80s compared to Spirit 2010?

I think in the 80's the airlines tried to break the strikes by hiring professional scabs off the street, in mass. I think the spirit and comair scabs were opportunistic scabs who already were on property.
