I know, but it felt good making the case regardless!
Animosity towards the DEC policy (not the individual) while competent FO's were left behind was understandable. To continue the same sentiment towards FO's on an Emirates contract is beyond belief.

Using your analogy, we are all stop gap measures!
Looking back at one of your previous posts, you asked if the NZ pilots had to go through the EK selection process or not but then proceeded to lambast them for good measure just in case they didn't. Common knowledge being the only difference for these applicants is that they will not need to produce a letter of resignation from their current employer. It is highly likely that some will not pass the selection process, lucky for them they have a job to go back to.
Comparing them to scabs without all the facts is dangerous territory especially considering their collective work with NZALPA and IFALPA on national and international issues. Can you make the same claim? Before you bag any of them to their face, it may pay to check if they are actually on LWOP or if they have resigned outright because you won't be able to tell otherwise.
At the same time and to ensure a consistency of applied animosity, I assume that you will apply your questionable principles to all of those that may be in a similar situation.
By the way, lay off the name calling and emotive speak least we mistake your intelligence and identity for someone else.
