Good question. Is a pilot (Northwest for example) a scab when he flies a plane that has been worked on by scab mechanics if the real mechanics are on strike?
I'm not sure - ATN/Todd should weigh in here about whether the pilots honoring the picket line of FA's or vice versa is a legal job action or not.
Question from someone who is still pretty dumb about such things:
People in this thread have mentioned a "proceeding" or "process" that the Falcon F/O (accused scab) is going through...
Is there some way that he can have his named removed from the "scab list" via some decree from the Spirit MEC? Does he have the ability to go plead his case and get some kind of de-facto pardon?
corndog! YUM! (and yes, it's supposed to be naughty looking)
but it'll probably change soon, so no worries
There's a family awareness committee? hmmm i'm not even aware of that?!
I think they need to get the word out a bit more.
believe it or not, it seems to me that a lot of the ladies on JG don't talk because they're afraid their husband will see and quite a few of the wives have told me that their husbands have told them that they don't even like them being on the interweb talking about them and their professions...so it's somewhat of an uphill battle and has been for a while
I find that just a little hard to believe, but ok.
Go get'em!
pretty much HAHASo the first rule of JG is "Don't talk about JG?"
why would they start so late in educating? why not start at the beginning of the union career (no matter how many times you change spouses )They normally don't gear up until Section 6 negotiations start. So, the last time SouthernJets would have activated Family Awareness would have been in 2000ish. I don't know if it was used during the concessions.

Question: what would it do to a person's career being fired for refusing a flight and stranding an airplane? Ultimately when he applies for other jobs down the road, wouldn't this be sort of the scarlet letter for potential new employers just as much as being labeled a scab?I'd rather see anyone fired than become a SCAB. One is correctable. One is not.

Okay...thanks!Not at a union carrier it wouldn't.
I applaud your efforts to remain professional and courteous, no matter the circumstances, unlike the other forums.
I'm also with you on the fact that whatever the Spirit MEC decides to label him, that's what I will go by.
So, you're just going to go along blindly like a lemming, doing whatever "the union" tells you to do, and not apply your own judgement and wisdom to the situation?
Sounds like a typical union thug to me

Sounds like a typical union thug to me[modhat]This is more of a personal attack than a reasoned debate. Let's stay on task and be respectful . Maybe a good time to review the rules...http://forums.jetcareers.com/faq.php?faq=vb_faq#faq_rules[/modhat]
On the other hand, a union thug just sits back and waits for "the union" to tell him what to do. The poster has admitted that this is his intention. Ok, so I ask the question: Which are you?
