Correct, the pension that scabs "earned" by screwing others was frozen.

Right. $29/hr, no medical, FAR reserve rules. Ask if he voted yes on C'02. Then he voted to freeze his own A Fund. A lot of junior pilots voted no out of pure disgust with the way we were treated post 9/11, and that it was a terrible contract. So, ironically, those "young guys" voted to save his pension.

Keep it simple, scabs crossed a picket line, therefore...

Typical scab spin and rationalization. They didn't lose their pension - it was frozen. Big difference. Then they got a B-fund, and then they got age 65. So tell that ** scab to go screw himself.

I don't even allow myself to get upset over such rambling garbage anymore and I fly with them all the time. To me they are that pathetic old drunk at the bar. Ignore him. One day he won't be there and nobody will miss him.

This pilot group needs to look to the challenges ahead, not Frank's losers. Sad given that threads here ultimately evolve into different exclamations of scabs suck. No kidding!?!

This one did because many have come to associate "Sparky the Scabwagon" with the SCABS for good reason. Unfortunately, Sparky will always carry that weight and burden. Can we say guilt by association?
And that's what ignorant trolls named Staller think. Scab opinion is as worthless as yours. Congrats on personal association with scabs Staller.

It's an airplane. Get over yourself...it carries no burden, it's a piece of metal. It pays well, and is the future of this company. If you don't like the guy you're flying with, then that is your perogative.

Jesus dude who cares. It pays well and flies to good destinations (minus Lagos). That's good enough for me. I choose to spend my time worrying about things that matter...friends and family. Feel free to spend your time worrying about trivial **

Most of the guys on the blue team care. I won't bid the scab cab till long after the fence comes down. SCABS have taken money out of my pocket, and yours too. I don't find that trivial at all. CAL's contracts suffered for years as a result of the scabs as did the the rest of the industries pilot contracts as well.

It's astonishing to me that some guys cannot, or choose to not comprehend that.
