Replacement Workers?
Apparently the official term is Replacement Worker...... and Scab is not AOA parlance:
If so, what happens in September when the total number of new joiners exeeds 51?
Without getting into the old debate about upgrades doing the replacing...... after the 1st 51 new guys/gals surely there is no more 'replacing' being done?
1. Is a new term required?
2. Could one approach the AOA and request not to be termed as such? Maybe IFALPA would hear your case...esp if you have been a card carrying ALPA member for say 10 yrs.
3. What becomes the basis for the ban or the terminology?
4. Does number 52 get let off the hook because his date of birth was later than the rest on his course?
5. What is the end state that the AOA seeks from this ban? (Talks or reinstatement?)
6. Are the Replacement Workers a 49er issue or simply an extension of 'work to rule'/MSS and therefore a rostering/COS issue?
........... just wondering if we cant see the wood for the trees.
Dont bite my head off...these are genuine questions which no one in the AOA has been able to answer for me?
Edited for shocking grammar!
