Guys, I'm all for flaming that loser, but let's not put ourselves in a false position. Be careful when pinging this guy. Darn near everything is traceable on the internets. I'd hate to see someone get charged with harassment.
Mail is much harder to trace.

That's not unique to airline pilots as much as it is a self induced reality of the way most people live these days. While you occasionally read one off stories like a librarian that retired making 35K a year her whole life with over a million in the bank (or matress), the truth is our entire economy is based on spending tomorrow's money today (and then some).
You bet that savvy managements know this. Even blue collar union bosses in bed with their managements know this. They will truffle sniff their membership, getting a feel for each worker's "monthly nut" and then, knowing what they earn, they know exactly how dependant on the job they truly are. Today you can add in the self induced artificial crisis of education costs, as today's parents dump near or even above 6 figures per "26 year old kid" for worthless degrees they know for an iron clad fact will produce zero ROI in the long run. Even worse is how emotionally attatched they become to the concept. The pressures of keeping that captain's house or the boat is massive, but its nothing compared to keeping daddy's little girl in school dropping 40 large every year to extend her childhood and delay her inevitable still entry level job.
This is a key element of unity that we're missing. If you can't walk away, they own you.

He's got his email on a public website so I thought I'd drop him a quick note to first confirm he is in fact a scab and then see if he could explain what's up. Wow, what an answer. I can tell he's rationalized it all in his mind. What an ego.
Again, from his reply,
"Our strike at Continental was a giant IQ test and those brain-dead idiots who chose to drink the ALPA Kool-Aid all lost big time.
I mean striking an airline "after" it declared bankruptcy was about as stupid as could possibly be!
Since I chose to keep it going (one of 125 who did) I feel very responsible for helping to create the largest airline in the world today."
He's so proud of what he did he claims it on his Linkedin page,
Jim Green | LinkedIn
"Worked with the COB of Texas Air Corp. and the CEO of Continental Airlines, suggesting a course of action that turned our operation from a failing one into one that became the best & largest airline in the world."
What a tool...

Dalad and Razor, thanks for your awesome posts. Its pilots like you who will help incoming new hires and fence sitters understand the history of our profession, and just how detrimental these people who crossed picket lines were to the industry. What you guys do goes a long way for educating those who may not realize whats at stake in their careers. Cheers to you

So, in addition to being a scab and a scumbag, he's also claiming he works for the new American?
