CAL pilots advised to prepare for strike.
 

EWR LEC leadership today advised that pilots should prepare for a 30 day strike within 18 months. More to follow.

That'll be interesting with all the scabs on the property!

....yeah, good luck with that. Here's a refresher:

The Railway Labor Act

And where did they "advise" this??? Got it in writing, VM, EWR LEC Blastmail?? Have heard "nada" on the topic down in H-Town.

Please produce the evidence of such a claim.

Oh yeah, and FUPM.

I'll believe it when I see it...

The RLA is how you get released for a strike. We don't need a refresher.

The post was taken out of context. I was at the meeting. We are presenting our contract opener proposal to the company soon. There will be a "townhall" meeting on the contract proposal (not T.A.) in mid January after everyone gets one and READS it. Then we go into negotiations with the company. If we can't agree, we follow the RLA and get released for a strike. CAL pilots should be prepared mentally for a strike and have 30 days pay minimum saved for one. It could happen in as little as 18 months, but it could also take 5 years. :rolleyes:

How many scabs do you think are left from 1983? What percent of the pilots?

This is not meant as a flame, but as a serious question:

Has anyone ever had a passenger at CAL or UAL make a comment about SCAB pilots?

I'm not a scab (I was about 16 then), but I have flown with them.

I've never heard any passenger say anything. I doubt any of them know of any strike at any airlines or any scabs from those strikes. All they care about is saving a dollar on their flight.
