the aoa may not 'offically' use the title scab... but there is no doubt some of the members do! (i do accept that barley used it 1st...and that he meant to pi$$ the aoa off when he said it)
they are no longer 'new-joiners' and not 'offically' scabs.... in fact the new term is "replacement worker"
replacing who exactly?
the ones already at cx interviewed and were offered jobs before the 49ers were sacked..... so they didn't replace anybody; they were coming anyway.
no s/o's were amongst the 49ers... so no replacements there.
pilots taking upgrades filled slots but actually didn't replace anybody......... and now
cx have 235 more pilots coming in the next 18 months; perhaps they are the replacements? but after the 1st 53.... who are the replacing again???
having rewritten the definition of scab... someone will surely need to search the thesaurus for a new term of endearment come jan 03.
if all of this is doing your head in...welcome to the cloak and dagger world of cathay.
