Cry me a river. They knew what they were doing, and I question most of their allegations of safety violations as retribution. They have no credibility to begin with. You can see Dubinsky sitting on his tounge trying to stay professional, well done.

Scabs suck. I stand tall when I look at myself in the mirror.

Funny how that works.

Also note the extremely carefully worded BIO that is arguably technically correct but doesn't actually claim he flew for CAL until the BK.

Typical.

What, are we running low on chest pounding, pot stirring today? Probably a 1/3 of our FO's were still in grade school then.

A good reminder and history lesson then. Is that ok with you or should we forget all about it?

So, if a person isn't impressed by chest pounding in a group of people that obviously all agree that scabs are the scum of our business, then they are advocating that we forget what the men and women who honored the strike went through?

Jesus, I know its election season, but we can't we leave the lack of critical thinking and logical fallacies to the reds and blues?

Bottom line, I doubt I speak for just myself when I say that there's nothing impressive about echoing popular opinion. Maybe you can understand that a more mature mindset might not get excited about anonymous people taking pot shots at low hanging fruit. The video was interesting, mostly because of the obvious stance by the reporters to vilify the pilots. The 5th grade level insults regarding scabs just come off a little desperate for approval

You're probably a smart person, so I'm sorry for being a *Richard*, just figured I'd perhaps give another take on this

It doesn't matter how old we are. We will NEVER forget.

Scab sympathizes make me sick.

"Come on guys...leave them alone!" :mad:

Nope.
