I bet you are a FANTASTIC Guard Nazi too.

YOU'RE ON GUUUAAARRRRDDDDDDDD!!!!!! <frothing spittle Sled>

 

Yep the bumps are coming. Everyone I know on the 757 fleet is waiting to bump. Why bid off and take a freeze when you can be patient, bump into your base as a guppy Captain, and then not have a freeze. Maybe their plan is to bid sparky FO once the fence drops.

 

(Nearly) all of those Capt's are really senior and really Scabby. I can't see too many Blue FO's wanting to bid over to that until well after the fence comes down and the neighborhood improves a bit.

 

Once the fence drops, maybe some blue Captains will bid in and dilute the number of black scabs on Sparky.

 

I no kidding had a sparky scab captain tell me to go F myself in the crew van in SFO yesterday...TINS..

Goes like this. Deadhead into SFO in plain clothes, go to ACS van. Ask driver if he is for me, another piloten in plain clothes comes out of the van and asks if I'm going to KIX. I say no.

Anyway, while the driver is checking on who he is supposed to take, another captain shows up from a deadhead in full uniform with hat...I think I see an Alpa pin on him and don't pay him anymore attention.

We all three get in the van, so I ask the guy who was going to KIX what airplane he was flying, 400 or 777. He says the 787. ( I didn't know sparky was flying that route)

So, I had to ask if he mostly fly's with scabs.. His reply, "I wouldn't know." Hmm. As I'm figuring out my follow up, the captain that was in the van turns around ad says "I'm going to Osaka tomorrow and I'm a SCAB and you can go F yourself"

I replied "Wow, that's something to be proud of being a SCAB."

He says "You have a big mouth." I say "No, I have honor and integrity."

Silence until getting to the hostel 30 minutes later, except for the f/o talking about dinner plans with the scab.

We are getting out of the van and the sparky f/o looks at me and shakes his head. I say "yes, disappointing that you accept scab behavior....

The scab had a half hour to think of a comeback and mumbled something but, I left them with this "Don't worry, the United pilots will be coming to that airplane soon enough."

Take-aways

1) I am truly honored that a POS Scab told me to go F myself when I wasn't even talking to him.
2) I despised the scab sympathizer f/o just as much if not more than the pos SCAB cap!

Sorry to hijack the thread.

Now back to your regular programming

 

Yeah, it sounds like he's worried! You showed him!! I know you're ready to clean our house, but, you may want to start with YOURS first!! You've had almost 30 yrs and they are still there!

 

Slats,

For that story, I'd buy your beer.

 

The lack of respect displayed is not only for those who scabbed, but for those who think about scabbing in the future. Kind of like paying it forward.

 

A lot of those FOs that kiss the SCABS rear end try to play it both ways. When not in company of SCABS their go to comment is "It was before my time."

Pathetic to give ANY SCAB shelter.

 

How many LUAL scabs are there in the DEN training center, on the line as Check Airman, or behind a desk in any flight office?

The house was cleaned years ago. The few remaining LUAL scabs slink around quietly and have zero influence within the union or management.

From my brief exposure to the ex-CAL operation on the 737 I can't make the same observation. Just saying.
