"it is of little consequence to us what we are called. sc#bs,replacement workers, custodians etc,."
Okay TSI we'll call you SCAB!
"The AFAPs tactics were a "nine to five" campaign, totally unworkable in the aviation industry.."
Doh, really!! Thank you, TSI... it was Abeles who told the pilots, "You are no different to other workers"
That was EXACTLY the point being made - to treat pilots the same as other workers was - in YOUR words - "totally unworkable in the aviation industry."
"i was still learning to fly and paying off my flying lessons" - no excuse for scabbing, TSI! We've ALL had to do it the hard way, why do YOU think YOU are the exception to the rule.
We ALL stood in line and waited our turn, as it's ALWAYS been done.
Do YOU think that you are someone special, more deserving than the guy who started 6 months..1 year...3 years..ahead of YOU??
Aviation doesn't need queue-jumpers...scabs...so don't complain about the treatment or the name-calling when it (deservedly) comes your way.
