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.

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.

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.
