Guessing you weren’t a strat lift guy then? Not a poke at you, but there were some out there who can say they worked every Christmas without using hyperbole.

When you get some more free time why don't you research these names for us. Idiot.

Apparently you failed reading comprehension. I said “on my fleet and seat”.

Are there that many SCAB lovers on this forum? Jeez. Guppy CA IAH is SCAB central and they’re dug in like ticks. Just look at the top of the list.

Btw Nice tie!

The Sick calls just prove that we need to negotiate holiday pay. Instead of turning it into an infighting thing- turn it in our favor for negotiations.

My mistake about judging your obvious (lower) maturity and mentality.

Btw, 25+ years of alpa membership and dues so chew on that for awhile with your scab lover and tie comments.

Come now. We are all wearing big boy pants. We all know what happens over holidays. There are those of us less than honorable, but most are.

There are multiple easy fixes to this. All we have to o is make it a negotiating priority. the company would see the benefit too.

1. Pay for sick leave at retirement.
2. Holiday pay.

Win win.

I had to go back and look at your position to see what you held. (Guppy which most grown men call a 737. But, my kids think thats a cute name you call your plane!!

) Anyway, I responded too you yesterday and 4 of the 5 categories were Airbus. And today I just looked at CCS and 2 out of 3 are Airbus. So 6 out of 8 categories are Airbus therefore, based off your comment there must be a ton of scabs on that airplane since they are calling in sick!

We know what you are trying to insinuate. ( IAH/737) But, the REAL problem seems to be a historically LUAL aircraft. I think its time for YOU to get over the Merger since most already have.

I worked most holidays too (fighter guy). I may not have had to report to the squadron, but certainly lost the leave lottery so I couldn't at least go visit family.
