Are you a tiny little baby new hire or perhaps a mid 80’s hire?

That’s a pretty silly question to ask.

Quite a bit actually. At least in the past. It was a weapon that resulted in such poor treatment to scabs that it showed all others why you would never cross the line.

Yes, deterrence. Lists are still out there, and apparently being updated by somebody. I have one from 2022.

Not many left under 65, some on the list are > 100 years old. Seems like the golden age of airline scabbing is over.

Looks like I am up here with you….

Oh it’s (one of) you. You stole my Rolex back in the 80s

did I? That was a long time ago. I brought donuts for you and your crew, so….. like me now?

Looks like you’re wearing my Rolex now, can I have it back?

No.

Right then, jumpseat denied.

(this isn’t about a Rolex)

One of us is getting off this jet. Care to wager which one that’s going to be?

don’t forget the kids of scabs who often got preferential hiring treatment (I.e. UAL).

You got data to back that up? I can’t stand those scum bags, but have never heard that their kids got to jump the line in the hiring process. You’ll need to show your work here.
