Or as one pilot put it so well:
"Boy, I get drunk once and give another fellow a BJ, and I'm known as a *** for the rest of my life..."

To say that it isn't as real as what audiences think is an insult to the soldiers who fought in the war or in any war for that matter. If you still think the series isn't as real as what is shown, then we'll just agree to disagree.
In the meantime I'll listen to what calcapt and the rest of the professionals have to say about never crossing a picket line.

I understand where you're coming from. Feeling like you've been betrayed is aweful, but who are you to be judge and jury for every person who has made that decision? This anger involved in this issue seems a little out of proportion

Look at it this way, in essence a scab is reaching into your backpocket and stealing your wallet. That's how it is and if you refuse to acknowledge or recognize that fact, you're not welcome at my airline.
You said it best in your first post when you said you were young and a bit naive. Take it from people who've been around the block, being a scab is the worst possible thing you can do in the field of aviation. Either acknowledge that fact or choose another career.
Good Luck.

My point is that these scum should not be trusted by anyone for anything.
I have nothing but contempt for a SCAB, and will treat them accordingly.

757driver, your analogy about the wallet stealing makes sense. I'm glad I've gotten all this input and I think I will suspend my opinions about this until I actually work for and pay dues to a union.
As a side note, I'm often impressed at how well some people write here. Most pilots I run across aren't very literarily inclinced. Like him or not paladin's original post was nicely written.
