In military vernacular, a SCAB is someone who will try and screw your wife as soon as you leave on deployment.

Got it....the Marines like to refer to it as Jody I believe...or something to that tone as they run around the base grunting at themselves...

Yut yut. We also talk about a C-130 coming down a strip...

They're sitting left seat EWR 777s. Doesn't look like their lot in life took a hit...

They will forever be forgotten, the only memory that they ever existed will be their name written on the SCAB list for eternity.

Wearing their ALPA pin

Ok, that affects them in life or in death.... How?

They know they're scum. They are treated like garbage and know that they have no integrity.

They fear putting their retirement photos up for the scorn they would endure.

Every scab knows that they are trash. The LCAL guys sometimes talk big…."it was the best decision I every made"….but the scum know that they are hated.

Even if they find a comfy little group to fly with, they are always nervous that they might be found out.

They sure were surprised when they heard the LUAL guys say the word "scab" in ops. They cried "you can't say that word!".

Yes…we can.

And we don't have to shake their hand either...

In all seriousness...(newbie and I haven't a clue)...how does one from ALPA interact with these folks?

I will assume we are professional in the cockpit...
How do we know they are scabs?
If they are a captain...and I am probation...interaction recommendations?

Be safe and professional in the cockpit. Give them checklist responses only, otherwise no chit chat, pleasantries or acknowledgement of their existence. Hit the hotel checkin desk, get your key, walk away without a word. Avoid them at all costs during layover.
