The 570s were trained (as strike breakers), but NOT hired, prior to the strike, and then refused to come to work when the strike was called. Joe omg hahahahahhhha the forum is good for a laugh once in a while as Chris Rock puts it, you can't be all proud of yourself for not doing what you're not spoda do. you're not spoda cross a picket line and take a union worker's job. and they didn't. in the end. although it was touch n go for a while. i knew guys who worked with the 570 and with the convincing not to report to work after training. anyway, the 570 don't get any extra heapings of respect for interviewing at an airline that was headed for a strike and then - at the last minute - deciding not to cross. maybe some respect for pilots who wouldn't even go to the interview ( there were plenty) or for those who were already at United and had seniority and were older - and walked off the job. those are the most respected pilots at United. the ones who didn't cave in like our south pilots had two years earlier. not the young pilots in their 20s trying for their first airline job. anyway.. thanks for the great laughs |

Please tell us more about these thousands of well trained big jet pilots. The BS flag is thrown good sir. SkyLease Cargo | AirlinePilotCentral.com National Airlines | AirlinePilotCentral.com Kalitta Air | AirlinePilotCentral.com Centurion Air Cargo | AirlinePilotCentral.com Air Transport International | AirlinePilotCentral.com ABX Air | AirlinePilotCentral.com Atlas Air | AirlinePilotCentral.com Omni Air International | AirlinePilotCentral.com Pretty much 80% of the pilots at these airlines have been flying heavy jets around the world for years, usually without an adequate support system, and would jump at the chance to drive a 737 or 320 around North America for a major. There are a few who are too old or misanthropic to make the change, but most are great guys you'd love to fly with. |
Misanthropic. Well played sir.
You're right. There are plenty of good guys currently flying for turdlines who would love to geek out with a striped tie. Thanks to a generous work release program from Mother U, I had the opportunity to do the non-sked dance myself. While there I met a bunch of great guys. My fear is that they'd jump at Norwegian. Along with a bunch of frustrated RJ guys. Hard to find fault with their logic. |

The 570's are scab wannabes. They show up to interview at an airline going through a labor dispute - just like the guys showed up at Continental in 83.
Fortunately for them the strike was short-lived and they never had the opportunity to cross the picket line. If the strike had lasted 3 years instead of 3 weeks they would have crossed the picket line in droves. So, technically not scabs, just scab wannabes. |
