These jahgawfs stay at our hotel in BOG. I knew there was something off about them when I would see them at B'fast. FWIW, I didn't hear any American accents from them. The one dude was Canadian. Others were UK. I think one was South African. IDK. But they definitely look the part.

I am absolutely against what Boeing did. But like couple others pointed out, i'm not certain they are actually scabs. Did they cross a picket line and fly struck work?
Its not the first time hostages were taken during a strike. Or the last.
Admittedly i don't have all the details here. But why would the rest of the pilot group vote in a contract, ending the strike, and going back to work that didn't bring those terminated pilots back. That should've been page 1, line 1.

Unless they fired them in retaliation the day after the strike ended.

At the bottom of the scab list is a "you be the judge" section with a list of people who while technically did not scab, had every intention to. Maybe add them to this part of the list.

I don’t have all the facts but my understanding is the company started systematically firing over 100 pilots After the strike was over. Also, this is another country not operating under the RLA so I don’t even know if the strike ended with a new contract or not. Either way, these Boeing pilots are replacing pilots who were fired for striking. I’d say the definition of scab is narrow but broad enough to include these A holes.

Word from the few ex-avianca guys we’ve recently hired at Spirit is that avianca has airbuses sitting idle because they fired so many pilots. The 787 was their smallest but also the most profitable so they pled with Boeing to get it up and running again. Boring obliged.

Someone needs to find out who these bums are and publish their names. The Boeing replacement pilots are indeed SCABS. For the rest of their lives they will be known as such. Pilots on a lawful strike. Replacements are indeed scabs.

I’m guessing Columbia might not be the safest country to openly scab in. Just sayin. Those dudes might want to be very careful.

Actually, it's the other way round. Stickers and picketers are at greater risk.

I wonder how much it would cost to have somebody severely “educated” in a town like Bogota?
