Scabbish? That’s a serious word, please don’t use it incorrectly and water down its meaning.

It is a serious word. Okay, how about “scab-like” behavior? After all, they voluntarily crossed a picket line to voluntarily pick up work on their days off. Deplorable behavior for a union pilot and absolutely **** poor judgement (or perhaps a grandiose sense of greed).

Au contraire, the only water flowing is from your excuses for others.

Enjoy your POT

So guys haven’t changed their behavior all of a sudden. How’s that offensive to anyone here?
Sounds like someone who picked up.

Again, do some math and explain to me how we have fewer days off for less pay than our peers. All I’m hearing is name calling and “bullying” which indicates a lack of a real argument. Make your point using data if you’re able.

If everyone stopped picking up open time today wouldn't that open up SWAPA to a lawsuit?

Let the probies who can't picket anyway have the POT. Everyone else should refrain. Shows solidarity and keeps the metal moving so the company can't cry foul.

I have a pic of our pay compared to others.but can’t figure out how to post it. Go SWAPA’s page look at contract comparison. Also, eagle/encore/envoy’s first year pay is more than ours now. Also, a captain coming from there is probably 5-6 years from coming close to breaking even if they come to swa.

When you find the contract comparison, note that we are sub par on 737 pay to year 5. Also, 1% less NEC. By year five at these other places, you’re able to be a WB FO or a NB captain. At swa you’re currently still another 3 years away from commuting (for most) to an upgrade.

We’d be sued for not picking up voluntary extra flying?
