Here's what a scab is:SuperchargedRS wrote: ↑Tue Jan 02, 2018 11:36 amnightbird wrote: ↑Mon Jan 01, 2018 9:55 pm Let's make a deal since you obviously have a good high paying job. I will stop accepting low paying jobs and sit at home all day if you agree to pay my bills and send me a check for the same amount that my low paying job was providing.
Or even better go get me a job where I can make more money and I will be happy to show my company the middle finger.
Until you pay my bills or get me an offer to a better job that is adequate to my needs you have no F&&^ saying on what I do or don't do with my life.
Yes I do
BUT, since I'm not a commie, a socalist or your mommie I won't pay for your lunch, your house or hold your hand.
You need to be a man and do these things for yourself.

Go fly corporate or something till the Canadian airlines get their chit together, that's what many American ATPs are doing.
Besides its kinda a mute point as no one is getting a visa to work for a airline over here, especially with how many qualified pilots are in the US.
Fix your own country instead of screwing with another country? First, leaving your country creates the shortage of work that will affect the demand of skilled pilots thus increasing pay *ahem* in theory. However bottom feeder airlines are applying and being granted government exemptions to foreign labor, ie; Evas, and previously, Sunwing.
A big problem now is that the undercutting in Canada isn't being done by Canadian pilots anymore, foreign workers who are willing to work for ridiculously low wages are accepting positions just to live in Canada.
I wish I could jump ship to the US and work, however an airline pilot isn't a career deemed acceptable for a work visa, yet. I commend the US government for keeping such a tight ship though. The only entity feeling the pressure are the airlines themselves, which are paying top dollar and have guaranteed flow to mainline carriers.
We just have to sit and wait for the government to do their part here.
It's not the government, it's the people, the people control the government.
If a company hired a foreign pilot and all the other line pilots called in sick for 3 days straight, that's something.
Or took skirts protesting in front of the immigration office for a week or two.
And going to another country that doesn't have a strong pilot population is one thing, which is fine.
Going to somewhere like the US which has the biggest pilot population on earth and taking jobs that US pilots are not taking because of low pay, that's more or less being a scab.
"A strikebreaker (sometimes derogatorily called a scab, blackleg, or knobstick) is a person who works despite an ongoing strike. Strikebreakers are usually individuals who are not employed by the company prior to the trade union dispute, but rather hired after or during the strike to keep the organization running."
In your world this only applies if one goes to work in the US with no strike action? One is not more or less a scab. One is or one is not.
