Imagine the illiterate yokels that worked on those crews and would have started that fighting. Welcome to civilization.

A Hawaii bankruptcy judge’s recent finding ordering Phoenix’s Mesa Air Group to pay $80 million for misusing a rival’s confidential data isn’t the first blot on the résumé of Jonathan G. Ornstein, who runs the airline. As FORBES reported years ago, the SEC in 1992 upheld a fine and multiyear suspension as a stockbroker–his prior career. The agency cited unauthorized trading, misrepresentation and frustrating investigators. Ornstein’s official disciplinary record printout back then: 21 feet long.

Now the Canadian Air Force comment deserved a "rise" but as with things typically Canadian military it went straight on by with complete political correctness and ease.

Now, the word scab used by these other individuals is wrong. As someone else pointed out on this thread, one can not be a scab with out actually crossing a picket line. However, one can very easily have scab tendencies. Having flown with scabs here at UAL there is a big difference and I will stand shoulder to shoulder with MAG pilots anytime!

I don't think anyone at mesa is calling you a scab, maybe something else but a scab wouldn't be the first go-to word from anyone at MAG.
