It's funny how you guys jump all over someone for working for GO, but someone who actually crosses a picket line and is a Scab you'll defend!?
I don't know this CA or if he is a scab or not.
I do know my career has been directly affected by scabs. I may have flown with this guy too? I used to be a CA but I had to go back to the right seat to let over 60 guys fly more. Over 60 and scab are not related, but at CAL many scabs were retiring until the age 65 passed.
As I said above, I do not know the name of the CA or if he is a scab or not. I do know that I do not mourn for scabs.

Some just can't let this go. How would you feel if someone rejoiced in you getting furloughed or losing your job? What if this Captain was your father and you were reading this? What goes around comes around and by saying the kinds of things that have been said you've made sure yours is coming. Whatever form it takes, you will surely deserve it.
...talk about passing judgement...

Was disappointed with CNN as well. Ever since this twitter BS, it's gone downhill.
Fox wasn't any better, champs. The only network on Cable that had half-decent coverage was MSNBC.
CNN had video coverage of the aircraft taxiing to the gate or wherever it was going, and the anchor was still saying that they were waiting for the airplane to land as it was still about 6 minutes out.
I was also disappointed with the pilots they interviewed. They all needed to emphasize that first officers fly just as much as captains do, and that it is absolutely a non-event for a first officer to land, because they do it every other time anyway.

Yeah, aviation is about experiance, truth and facts.
The airline industry, different story. Don't confuse the two.
