I'm not familiar with NWA's inflght ranks, but do they have FA's on furlough? Are you sure that they're hiring replacement workers and not covering manpower shortages? I know that the mechanics are in ongoing negotiations, although I haven't heard about the FA's. Is the assumption that AFA will honor AMFA's picket line if it comes to that (and well they should)?

My girlfriend is looking into a career as a flight attendant... if she got hired at Northwest during a labor strike, would she be treated poorly by the other crew members? And after the labor strike ended, would her employment there be terminated also?

Please don't reply with a bunch of hate posts, I just want to be able to give her the best advice I can.

Simply being hired during a strike would not put her in danger. However, if she crossed a picket line to work during a strike she WOULD be a SCAB and there is NO love in this industry for them. In that case I assure you that she would be treated poorly.

Yes she would be hammered for being a scab Flt attn. I've got to tell you that she should not be thinking CAREER as a flt attn. The industry is sooo completely screwed up I don't think she would be happy after a few years.

Please look at the United scab pilots. There were two lists carried by Captains and they used them to see if you were a scab. If you were a scab pilot then the Captain asked you to not talk to him/her. No love here! I would consider all these factors before crossing picket lines. Not the way to start a career.

DON'T DO IT!! The job is not worth it. It is a very ugly lifestyle once the strike ends with all the strikers coming back to work.

Personally, I would rather sell shoes than live my life out as a scab.

this is the part that stood out to me---

"...ndividuals who successfully complete Flight Attendant training may be offered employment with competitive pay in the event of a labor dispute or strike."
