I'd rather be called a scab then be a hypocrite

I must of missed the part of where JJD is a hypocrite.....I'd rather be called a scab then be a hypocrite
So if CargoJet ever goes on strike for better working conditions no one will mind if AmeriJet flies the freight? They went on strike after trying to negotiate minimal improvements. The strike doesn't mean much if the freight is still moving. My bet, the type of pilots crossing the picket lines at AmeriJet are cut from the same cloth as the pilots from Cargojet flying their freight. If we don't stick together who is going to do it for us?
Completely Agree!You say that the Amerijet pilots have gotten zero benefits from their union, I say, they belong to the wrong union...join ALPA and they will see what a pilots union is all about.
Pretty broad mandate, that. I must have missed the news about pilots not crossing the lines and successfully shutting Pearson down during the nine day strike last month.2R wrote:Rule one :

Silly tw@ts - they should wait until February, and then giver...For those of you in Vancouver, PSAC will be in a strike position on the 18th. Don't forget to support your brothers and sisters there too. Labour situation at Vancouver Airport worsens - delays could begin in two weeks
Wow! 5 years and no contract. Lot of good the teamsters have done them eh? I think most unions have little interest in the smaller operators, as it is a lot of money out vs. what is collected in dues.Widow wrote:767AAY wrote:Get over it, the UNION allowed these conditions to get out of hand, the UNION has been collecting dues for years and the UNION has now forced a bunch of your "brothers" into a shitty position and they are striking as a result and their families are suffering etcIslamoradaFlyer on PPRuNe wrote:The union was voted in back in 2004.

Oh, my bad. I didn't realize that so long as no picket lines are visible, it's ok to not support those union members who are on strike. I presume, then, that ALPA is supporting their IBT brothers and sisters by setting up picket lines at all airports from which air cargo operators are based to ensure that no cargo pilot might claim that they were unaware of the atrocious conditions at Amerijet, Amerijet, or Amerijet.JazzJetDriver wrote:I for one who knew of the 9day strike never saw a picket line and no pilots as far as I know started pushing the cleaning equipment trolleys around cleaning washrooms etc. Can the CJ pilots make the same claim???
I don't think people are getting it.....I'm thinking the Jazz pilots / ALPA would not refuse to fly Westjet routes. Let's get serious.
