[ QUOTE ]
The Freedom and Gulfstream guys may not fit in the term "scab", but they sure fit the term "scum". Skirting the efforts of various pilot groups to advance pay and work rules, simply for their own personal gain. Sickening.
[/ QUOTE ]I'd take it easy with the rhetoric if I were you, Matt; some people might say the same of a 300 hr pilot taking a job when the resumes of pilots eminently more qualified sat on HR's desk. By all rights, you should still be flight instructing right now. You got lucky, and I don't begrudge you for that, but it's just as easy to argue that you sold yourself out for your own personal gain by working as an unpaid intern (what's your time worth, anyway?) rather than pay your dues the old-fashioned way. In other words, you bought your job with the money you should have been paid during your "volunteer" work there. How's that any different from what the guys who went to Gulfstream or Alpine did?
Just a little food for thought, bro. I'm not baggin' on you, just suggesting that you not be quite so quick to bag on others.
