You certainly aren't one of us. No honorable Union pilot would take a non-union position that undercuts the contract of the unionized carriers. That's exactly what you did just to keep flying. Perhaps you were just too lazy to go get a job where you had to work 40 hours a week...
By the way, "We're just trying to feed our kids" is the first thing a scab says when he crosses a picket line. Funny you should have chosen that particular line as justification for butt*******ing Union pilots.

Like RedeyeAV8r, I also care when the term is used inappropriately--as you just did.

Disregard this request for a continued debate. I've reviewed most of your other posts and decided that you're not a complete idiot--just a bit rabid.

Cuzz
You said, "Take a look at your own paystubs. Bet it doesnt look as good as it did 10 years ago."
...and Cuzz you are partly to blame for that. You and your kind are dragging down the industry payrates by agreeing to work for low hourly pay!

lets see, I'm furlouged USAIR, where I made ALOT less money than I do now. So I drug down the industry by accepting a job to the only major hiring at the time in the country. I distincly remember alot of red ink before jetblue was a company. You must be correct. JetBlue came into business and everyone made less money. That must be it. It surely couldnt be bad management decisions, 9-11, parity plus contracts, skyrocketing fuel. No, those arnt good reasons.

I read this article this morning in the NY Times. I was completely dumfounded at the stupidity of the JB pilots. Hey guys, anyone want to volunteer to provide us data that will allow us to make your duty day longer and our pockets fatter? Ooh, ooh, ooh choose me, choose me... I'll do it, I'll do it.... Just proves you don't have to be smart to work at JB. Come on guys, think a little!!!
I too predict JB will be in the history books right next to every other airline that came and went. I give them three years tops! Less if they keep up the stupid pet tricks.

"I am completely dumbfounded at the stupidity of the CAL pilots. Hey can we land on taxiways too??? Anyone want to shorten up the taxi time?? Ooh, ooh, ooh, choose me, choose me...I'll do it, I'll do it.....Just proves you don't have to be smart to work at CAL.

Main Entry: scab
Pronunciation: 'skab
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, of Scandinavian origin; akin to Old Swedish skabbr scab; akin to Old English sceabb scab, Latin scabere to scratch -- more at SHAVE
1 : scabies of domestic animals
2 : a crust of hardened blood and serum over a wound
3 a : a contemptible person b (1) : a worker who refuses to join a labor union (2) : a union member who refuses to strike or returns to work before a strike has ended (3) : a worker who accepts employment or replaces a union worker during a strike (4) : one who works for less than union wages or on nonunion terms
And just for all you who seem unable to read for comprehension what I said was the "I had to feed my kids" excuse is the first one the scab uses. If you drew any inferences from that, I suggest you reread the whole post slowly and without moving your lips.

The pictutre is awesome
Awesome picture 757 dude, but how do you really feel about JB? Don't you think they should organize instead of accepting lower wages? Seems like the only way they can make money is to fly overtime and work to the limits of the FARs. Don't make sense to me.
