Remind me again what the comair strike was about?

The CAL list never did have those guys listed ... But they are on the master list.

I find the CAL list hard to reference ... I understand why they did it the way they did ....

All scabs are listed in the master list ... Active, retired, or dead.

Yeah ... Originally it was mostly SCABs on it ... The SCABliner... Now it's more 'diversified '.

I thought most of the aforementioned Scabs were dead/retired at this point.

no ?

what is the purpose of these Scab lists today, 2018 ? (legit question, I don't know)

A few of them are not retired yet. I suppose you could filter the list by using DOB or date of strike to remove those who must be retired. But keeping the list intact does send a message to potential wannabe scabs that they will be remembered.

Were some of them given an adjusted hire date or anything like that?

The two Spirit scabs weren't employed by Spirit.
Not to mention the Spirit strike only lasted a few days whereas the United and Continental strikes lasted much longer...United lasted a month, Continental lasted almost two years.

I’ve found most CAL scabs will tell you straight up that they are scabs. Just ask him/her if he/she crossed the picket line. Most of them are proud of it and will tell you it’s the best decison they ever made. Not kidding.
