Putting scabs in their place
 
I just read another post about how cool and admirable it is to completely ignore a scab crewmember. I condone denying the jumpseat and many other childish actions outside the confines of the cockpit, but once you're strapped in put it aside. I understand the frustration, but to the extent that cordiality relates to safety, crews like these are outright dangerous. You don't have to like his choices; in fact hating your crewmember is your prerogative. Nobody requires us to make small talk, but verbally abusing another crewmember is irresponsible. One of our most important obligations to the countless lives behind you is to contribute to a safe environment on the flightdeck. Grow up and act like a professional.

are they ignoring an attempt at conversation or are they ignoring you when you try and do checklists...

its attitudes like that which have made your unions so weak and useless in the past years

Unions weak and useless??? How dare you think that. Duane Worth's CPA would not agree with you.

IronWalt 10-04-2006 08:35 AM

It's the gaggle of Non Scab *******s at the top of the "Pilot Profession Ponzi Scheme" that are willing to sell out everyone else that make the union weak. Duane Worth included.

Blaming scabs is a way to divert attention from the real problem. Dysfunctional union that destroys its own foundation of support from the lower seniority people.

How is it unsafe to not want to buddy up to a scab. Your right, when strapped in the seat Checklist are finished in a professional manner. However a scab is a scab, I do not have respect a crewmember to do my job professionally.

I'd be willing to bet that there is nobody that was employed March 9th 1989 when EAL went on strike. But its sure fun to read the same old crap. Get a life guys.

No, not me, but my father was long time EAL. So I don't know first hand of the emotions of the strike and the crossers, but I know how he feels about it. I recently voted yes to a strike at my place of work, and if someone had taken my job if the strike went down I'd feel the same way.
