Used to be the CAL scabs had employee numbers that gave it away. Now you must google the national scab list a keep a copy. Mine is on my phone.

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?

The list is available from a Google search.

I always check it if I have any doubt. If they're a scab I do my job and keep to myself at the layover. I don't socialize with them. Be professional but don't go out of your way to make them feel good about themselves.

Dang. Good to know.

More stupidity from me...this demeanor doesn't cause strife between the two parties during the trip?

IMHO, there should be strife. They're effing scabs and stabbed their fellow pilots right in the back when strikers took a stand and their families suffered as a result. I want them to feel uncomfortable and know I don't like them. That being said, when I enter the cockpit, I'm safe and professional for the sake of the passengers and their safety as well as the FAs.

Not if you don't talk to them it doesn't. Most SCABS no why you won't acknowledge them and don't press the issue. They do their job and you do yours and the flight will be conducted safely.

If you give a SCAB an opening they will take a mile. They desperately want a friend. Can you imagine working for 30-40 years and never enjoying a burger and beer with the guy your flying with??

Just do your job and be professional as a half-winger. The SCABs know they're not liked for stabbing the profession in the back and the sUAL scabs expect to be lonely when they show up at work.

The common denominator of every scab I've flown with is that they lied about their hire dates. I already knew when I asked the question. I just wanted to see if they'd tell the truth. None yet has. So their true character comes through right at the outset.

How does a UAL 570 Who fits the same demographic as the cal scabs, get to go into the interview while scabs are being hired, tell them they will cross a picktline.. Then cause the strike by giving Ferris the confidence of having 570 pilots who will do so. They compensate by being super Union chest thumpers to cover up what they did in 85. In my eyes they are no different.
While many fleet quals did the same thing and never turned a wheel get called a SCAB. Many were given half wings and said F u to ALpa when their year was up. No scabs on the 747?

Your comment is a complete waste of time and demonstration of your ignorance of the whole 570 issue.

No I am not a 570, but I was there in the day and I will let all know this one thing, with just a few exceptions the 570 followed ALPA's instructions to the letter in 1985.

And to say they caused the strike is pure **
