Default Just wondering about scabs . . .

So you have a son in college and one night he gets with his buds and they break out the cocaine and he decides to "give it a try" and the cops show up and bust him.

Do you ever forgive him? Is he ever accepted back into society after his one bad choice? Does prison time afford him a "reset"?

I was hired at United Airlines in 1996. I read "Hard Landing" and "Flying the Line". I think 570s are windbags full of themselves. I would never cross a picket line, but . . .


I am a Christian and I believe in Forgiveness. How do pilots justify hating somebody for their whole life when the offense occurred decades earlier? Is there ever a chance or way for a "scab" to be accepted back into the fold? If you make a choice when you are 25 are you marked for life like Hester Prynne? Isn't hating somebody 25 years after their offense a type of prejudice?


I know . . . now I'm a "scab lover" and subject to the same vilification, but that's ok because I'm a Christian. Actually I'll be a little proud if that's what happens

There is rehab for coke. Once a scab, always a scab. There is no cure.

Build a couple bridges, you may be known as a bridge builder. Cross a picket line once, you're a .............for life.

This thread is on dangerous grounds of violating the TOS and should be closed in my opinion.

If someone is caught in the act of adultery with someone else's spouse can they be forgiven?

What if that same person while refusing to stop the affair demands this "relationship" entitles them to be included as family and expects full forgiveness and family benefits with no hint of repentance, what then?

Biblical forgiveness starts with repentance and returning any ill gotten gain to its rightful owner with interest… then it is up to those whom the offense was committed to decide. Let the SCABS resign, apologize, and make restitution… then those whom they cheated can decide if they will forgive.

Well stated. The reason a scab is despised for his whole career is because he retains his ill gotten seniority that entire time. I'm with Sonora Pass, resign and THEN seek forgiveness.
