There are so many more pilots who are not scabs flying the 787. Call it Sparky if you want, but the other moniker is not accurate. That is why the fences was a BAD idea.

The Guppy is slammed because its a lousy plane to earn a living in when compared to the other types on the property. Its got 1950's systems technology with fancy glass. Its horribly uncomfortable and cramped for anyone over 5'9". The jumpseat is flat out heinous. The cabin is toight. These are the issues with it.
However, when you're flying it as a Captain and the fleet gets parked and you get bumped back to the right seat, suddenly it doesn't seem so shabby. Its still a cramped cockpit, but the additional shekels certainly help grease the skids. That's simply human nature. A bologna sandwich for lunch every day would really get old. But, it would smell pretty sweet absent any other food after a few days.
And when you're stuck for years while the black team has guys 10-14 years junior to you flying those guppies out of traditional blue team domiciles, well that will get ones dander up.
If all this is too confusing than I don't know what else to say.
