It truly is a joke. Imagine what would've happened in the 1800s if one railroad crew undercut another railroad crew represented by the same union (like PSA did with Envoy). In that era there would be blood--not words on the internet

In that era you might get away with it instead of being recorded by every person with an iphone.

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

Wait...the Mesa guys are calling SkyWest guys scabs while it is perfectly fine for them to continue putting millions in the pockets of a convicted felon?

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.

I think the reason some would call us scabs is because we are not unionized.

Once again misuse of the word scab.

Whoa whoa whoa....before you get your p-nties in a wad NVUS. Here's the entire conversation in context for you to refresh yourself on. Ol' DJPilot started that one and I honestly have no idea what he's referring too or if even works for mesa? 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.

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.

That's a stretch. MAG pilots are at the top of the list when it comes to the percentage of pilots who contribute to ALPA-PAC. That PAC is fighting vigorously against foreign ownership and the global domination that the middle east carriers so want. Do the Skywest pilots have a PAC as strong as ALPA-PAC?

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!

Q: What's the difference between your average CEO and a convicted felon?

A: The CEO hasn't been caught yet.

You'd get a rise out of me if there even WAS a Canadian military to defend...
