I think the others have beat the horse, but I'll chime in anyway. I didn't say that the united guys at gojet now are CURRENTLY scabs, just that they were stupid for choosing to replace themselves. If however they fly routes that were being flown by TSA at a time of lawful strike then at that time they would be SCABS in the most true sense of the word. ( ALPA sets up strike centers for this purpose specifically so that pilots of other airlines who might be operating similiar routes are able to check whether the specific flight they are now operating was operated by a striking carrier)
My hope for gojet is that while many consider the work they do to be shady, that they will not want to actually be scabs beyond a shadow of a doubt. If we somehow no longer care about scabbing then why don't we get rid of the unions completely and see how much we like our job then.(because the career will be truly dead). I for one will make sure that a SCAB never gets on my jumpseat for the rest of my career, and I hope all other honorable pilots do likewise.

If that's you attitude then you will be shocked when it happens. That's the same " they'll never create an alter ego so stick it to em" attitude that has landed you guys in a deeper hole than before. I'm behind you guys but realities of this situation are not so good.

What happens when ALL of them don't have crews?
p.s. the boogy man is fictional.

anyone read the latest vars..
Although there were no tentative agreements made during the week, there was some shortening of the distance between the parties
on the remaining issues.
would anyone like to translate? same thing every time... the distance has been shortening the last 4 years, and yet all we need to agree on now is just pay and scheduling and scope and insurance and everything else that really matters. we getting released or what?? good lord
I don't think the NMB can be this blind and to actually think that our management has the intention to negotiate fairly. Is everything being done to pursue them to release us?
