Weak…how about principles, ethics, morals, integrity, courage? You are one weak sister.

 

Well, In a very short couple of years, all the scabs will be gone and forced to retire. Then we can all rejoice.

 

Define a very short couple of years. The sCABS are around well into the 20's.

 

May 2028, I'm sorry to say, is not a short couple of years.

Scrappy...here is your quote:
Jesus dude who cares. It pays well and flies to good destinations (minus Lagos). That's good enough for me. I choose to spend my time worrying about things that matter...friends and family. Feel free to spend your time worrying about trivial **

Family and friends...Agree 100%. Scabs=trivial? NOT EVER. That is the difference. Dealing with them on an everyday basis can be tiring as you have to change your nature...how you personally interact with another person. Some people do not let it get tiring to the point where they just give in and treat them like everyone else. They are not like everyone else for true reasons stated ad nauseum. If it gets tiring to treat them as they deserve (no personal conversation) it would seem said person is worrying how they are making the scab feel....and as you say, why spend ANY time worrying about it? How they feel is trivial....correct? Or, am I missing something?

 

I can say that Scrappy is a person of high caliber, war vet and good person. Oh and his sense of humor is great for a fighter guy.

Be careful to directly or indirectly call or label a person a scab or scab wanna be. While I think we all can agree that crossing the line was/is horrible and has hurt this profession (along with other things like 9/11, american corporate culture, etc...).
It's hard to predict who will behave like what when the stuff hits. Just like in combat. Most behave like expected but some get the Medal of Honor and some run. Crossing the line came be similar and human behavior rarely changes.

Step back, take a breath. Scrappy is saying enjoy life. Don't be a ball of hate and rage with this job. Enjoy the good times, family and friends. You don't have to snuggle up to a scab and be a BFF. B professional and nothing else with who and whatever you fly.

 

I could frankly care less how a sCAB feels. I'm more concerned how the possible sCAB of the future feels and rethinks the notion of crossing a picket line if the time ever comes.

 

I don't care either. However, all us keyboard warriors talk big. People here love to twist words, state lies as truths, argue for the sake of it, label each other, and the list goes on. I bet some of us have flown together and didn't even know it and we liked each other only to come here and cast stones. My point is you can't predict behavior. We will have some that cross when the time comes. It's a fact of life. I can't worry about that. What I can do is do my best, be part of the solution, and try and set the example in hope that others will follow.

Oh and enjoy this job and family like Scrappy says.

 

Correct, you can't predict behavior. Behavior can be influenced.

Really low -------. Maybe you should stick to blowing smoke for the new hires.

 

Sadly, we have a different picture of 9/11 at United.
