HIALS:
The reason I mentioned that "daddy" is because that is precisely the point one of the more senior CX guys raised in one of the (too) many threads in this forum when complaining about the current rostering practices.
This dispute is not about the threat of looming unemployment, or about any serious safety issues. It's about personal comfort levels, and thus frivolous.
Again, HIALS: if the issues were really serious, there would be a strike. As there is no strike, the issues cannot be serious - it's axiomatic. Therefore, there are no grounds for a recruitment ban and, thus, for throwing around terms such as "scab".
That, HIALS, is stooping to the lowest level - in fact, we have here so-called professionals using terminology that might befit wharfies (incidentally another group whose causes have more to do with preserving privileges rather than anything else).
Incidentally, I also notice that your purported date of joining PPruNe goes back to long before this forum existed, let alone you had access to the internet.....:o
