Speak for yourself, I am a G tard and I could care less about the scabs. That happened when I was in first grade.... I am over it.


You must be an old ExpressJet pilot, they all seemed to hate the scabs. The funny part is that the scab haters in my class all were from regionals where they paid for training. That is a modern day scab in my book.

You PFTers were screwing the career back in the late 90s and now have the balls to complain about scabs that did the same thing overall.

 

R U a SCAB? They generally dont like him.

CRAPers. Conservative Republican Airline Pilots.

 

There is no such thing as a staunch union activist SCAB. Only SCABs that the IACP and CAL union allowed back in....

That is because the CAL union acts like a guest in managements house and is soft on SCABS!

The only thing funnier than a dead scab is a dead scab in a clown suit!!

 

Yeah right.....

When does high school end for you? I'm guessing you graduate in two maybe three years?

 

Trade unionism would not have returned to Continental as early as 1993, nor would a contract have been signed in 1995, without the cooperation of everyone--regardless of labor pedigree. The founders of IACP were an amalgamation of full-time CAL ALPA strikers, Old Cal pilots who crossed the picket line, newly hired pilots during the strike, and those who hired on after the strike settlement. The result was a record ratification election in which 92 percent of Continental's pilots voted for a return to trade unionism. That set a National Mediation Board record for an airline pilot certification ballot.

The first president of IACP was what you'd call a "scab," an Old Cal pilot who crossed the picket line. The second president was a full-term, battle-star-qualified striker. The third president was a former employee of that run-away shop that J. J. O'Donnell vowed would "never open a start valve," New York Air.

When ALPA returned to the property in 2000, it was another former NY Air IACP president that led the merger with the national union. Contrary to popular mythology, there was never an "amnesty" for CAL pilots who crossed the picket line. Case law based on the Railway Labor Act requires a successor union to accept all members in good standing of the predecessor union to be offered membership in the successor union. That would be the case should ALPA be replaced by another union on the United property.

Those are just the facts. If they upset you, so what? But they're posted for the benefit of those who are more interested in reality that continuing to fight a 30-year-old war.

 

At Delta everyone is exactly the same as everyone else. It's utopia...

 

Gee I guess I dont exist as I am a 'D'

 

Take part of this with a grain of salt. Captain John Prater, immediate past-president of ALPA, was the secretary-treasurer of the CAL MEC during the 1983-85 strike. Needless to say, he didn't cross the picket line. Nevertheless, his employee number ends with a letter. So do the employee numbers of certain Frontier pilots, who came onto the CAL seniority list well after the strike had been settled. Old Cal plots who crossed the picket line don't have letters in their employee numbers. I've been told, but can't say for sure, that even some old strikers who got fired during the festivities, and then got their jobs back during the grievance process, were then assigned employee numbers with a letter on the end.

 

No letter at the end I have a D at the beginning
