Amerijet On Strike!

I don't think it matters if you are in a union or not.... Scabs are those who cross the picket line, those who are used in an attempt to BREAK the strike.

So yeah...the management guys, the non-union guys....they're all being used as SCABS to help break the strike. SCABS.

Oh, and Charlie, you're my bud and all and we will always be grateful to Tom Brady for helping us escape a nasty situation but you do realize that every single one of the 300 died, right?

Maybe the analogy works better with that. If you scab, you are killing your fellow workers.

My point with the 300 analogy was that if nobody scabs you, you CAN achieve amazing things. The guys in 300 got toasted because they got scabbed.

Speaking of Tom Brady, how were your stats that night? Touchdown, or at least a first down?

I am in no way associated with a union, but I believe the union is always against the management... so if a management employee (i.e., chief pilot, director of ops, etc...) are told to go fly the line in a strike situation, they are still management and therefore are not Scabs.

Anybody flying an airplane to circumvent a strike is a SCAB. That is the way I have always understood it to be.
 
A good friend of mine called me today. He said he got a call from Amerijet. Whoever he talked to told him they could have him in class by Monday for the 727. Has anyone else heard that Amerijet is replacing pilots? BTW, he turned it down. His dream is to work for JetBlue someday, and he knew this wouldn't be a good career move!
 
I was in Port-au-Prince today and watched a scab operated 727 land and park. Usually the pilots get out and talk to us but today they hid in their plane. They even put the blinds up so we couldnt see them, it was overcast so no sun.

Did you learn something from that?

By the way, should AMJ try to disguise their cargo to sneak it on your flight, I'm sure the people walking the line will let you know.

Some have listed AmeriJet management pilots as scabs. Typically aren;t management pilots techincally management, and not pilots.

Yes, I know they used to fly the line, or still do form time to time, but most have comfy desk jobs now. Likewise at airlines aren't management pilots not part of the union, so should there be a strike management pilots wouldn't and couldn't be considered scabs, right?

I know Amerijet isn't union, but if theese former pilots, now managers are flying routes as management pilots, are they real scabs, or management?

Anyone that flies struck work is a scab, regardless of their job title. The list is filled with so-called management pilots.

As I *think* that I've heard that at 121 ops management pilots aren't ALPA, and aren't considered line pilots.

Most ALPA contracts require management pilots to pay dues. They are listed as "executive inactive" status. They don't get access to meetings, voting, etc..., so their dues are only 1.45% instead of the usual 1.95%.

I asked the same question here a few years ago and got roughly the same variety of responses.

However, having thought about it some more since then, if you are both management and in the union the decision should be easy. You're in the union and you strike with everyone else. Otherwise, you're no longer part of the union.

I should roll my application in over there, just to waste their time, "Yeah I'll see you in class next week. You can count on me!"

Jerkoffs.

I think, if you interview, or are offered a class you are still considered a SCAB. I get your point here and it is fine...but be careful - it may come back to bite you in the ass. The "list" has people that had asked to be placed on a preferential hire list, etc. Your "prank" could blow up in your face. Just FYI...

Eh, you are underestimating my laziness.

I would hope the union wouldn't mind me F'ing with them, but that isn't exactly acting in good character.

I renege on my earlier statement

It was a fine thought though...and ATN may say differently...but with the whole "scab" thing being a big deal I didn't want you branded with that on a goof.
 
Interesting scab description:

He is to his trade what a traitor is to his country. He first sells the journeymen, and is himself afterwards sold in his turn by the masters, till at last he is despised by both and deserted by all.

People used to be much better writers than today. Most people would have a hell of a time describing a scab without setting off the profanity filter now; but that was practically poetry.
