What about his post in inaccurate?
True; Continental made sure all their scabs from '83 strike (about 800) were welcomed back into ALPA with open arms---no fines, removal of name from master SCAB list, no payment of back-dues, etc.
Maybe not open arms. But were they charged back dues? Well, I think he may be wrong on the name removal. The one I have STILL has the names on it.
The lesson? Cross any ALPA picket line, and 15 years later, all is forgiven! You'll still get to fly B-777s and get industry-standard, ALPA-negotiated wages!
What, have these guys faced any REAL retribution? Do the CAL guys that walked deny them on their own jumpseats?
