Get yourself into some training jeopardy, see how much “nothing” the training committee provides. Have a medical issue and see how much “nothing “ alpa aeromedical provides. Have an issue with another employee and see how much “nothing” pro stans provides. If you’re such a hot shot solo operator, go work for a non represented pilot group and report back how it goes. You’re a fool if you think for one second that you, individually, have anything to to with our pay and standard of living. It is through our collective resolve that we maintain some fairness in the management/labor balance of power.
Octa....another “Super Pilot” like Scab Lacy. Here’s a recommendation for you.....try corporate aviation, you’ll fit in perfectly, you can hob knob with the ego maniacs & ass kiss them right up to the time they fire you.

The labor movement has been dealt many setbacks in the last few decades, so many do not fully realize the extent of the harm of a scab. Both to the individual, and to the group in lack of unity---which directly leads to bargaining power. Double whammy, scabs not only try to take your job, but weaken your bargaining position and your pay check.

Labor unity (or disunity) is sliding spectrum. This kind of extreme example serves as a reminder to all to take care where you fall on the spectrum.
