So until a few days ago you were a scab?
What about all the guys that worked at Colgan? They were scabs until a few weeks ago? Wow! I didn't know that.
Under some people's definition, yes. I certainly didn't consider them to be so, however.
Hell, there are over 15 airlines on this scab lists that I'm looking at, why don't people talk about them?
We do, just ask that CAL pilot that one of my CA (We have a few old EAL guys that keep a copy of the list with them) toll to take a hike.
Im telling you they don't care about them unless they are at gojets, it's kinda like how people in a certain race hate other people in their same race/ethnicity. It's pointless
OMG! Leave GoJets alone! I hate the tough guy attitude most regional F/O's (who shouldn't even be worried about them) have on the internet. I have yet to see a regional F/O go up to a gojet pilot and do anything to defend the "unions honor" or whatever you guys are always crying about. If there are those that can't stand gojet then shut up about it! We don't need your personal feelings when they aren't called for. They fly a crj700 you fly a saab, or crj/erj who cares?
Back to the original topic:
If there is a list of scabs (there is) it can be denied unless there is evidence of a paper trail. In order to get one you need to know a pilot who has one. The internet was/is too risky. But gojet pilots are not scabs, there may actualy be some who are but the great majority are not because the don't meet the requirements of being a scab.
I care who's a true scab on the master scab list.
I was not fond of any Freedom "A-lister" or someone that left TSA to get a quick upgrade at GoJets, or someone that left 5Y for a quick upgrade at AABO (nee` AACS). However, they aren't scabs. Those initial cadres probably would scab, but unless they are on the Master list, they aren't scabs.
THat's right true scabs are the objective with these lists, but most go for all gojet flight crew. I can understand that the A listers of freedom and at gojets are morons and completely inconsiderate to solidarity. But now you got low time CFI's that are going to go jet withy no idea as to what is what. I remeber going into the pilot shop the other day the kid behind the register said he wants to goto piedmont as soon as he gets his multi comm and I said "dude that was like a year ago", then he said 'well there always colgan then' (everyone in LI goes to colgan) and I had to roll my eyes

IIRC someone in the Airline forum mentioned that the scab list isn't maintained by ALPA and is illegal for them to do so......the one floating around was supposedly compiled by a non-ALPA individual pilot? Vaguely remember that.
Funny you say that because talking to the guys in the crashpad it is the low time guys that know the whole story and just don't care, and for the most part the street CA's didn't have a clue.
Yep, that's why they're street captains. Their last job could have been flying Navajos in fairbanks, which is so completely far removed from the airline world that proto-scab and other awkward neologisms aren't even in their vocabulary. Nor are they likely to care.
