Scab of the Week

[ThirdSeatHero]

gee finman, my statement sure seems to be true. i guess that the strike that is still ongoing is having alasting impact on other "companies" NWA "wants" to perform maintaince. cant blame UAL for turning down NWA contract

Actually, I believe its because the UAL AMTs (AMFA) have a "NO-STRUCK WORK" clause in their curent contract.

I did find it amusing that after all that UAL has done to their AMTs (and other employees) that they'd actually go to AMFA and ask them to ignore that part of the contract.

 

[Hackman]

AMFA being on strike will have absolutely zero impact on the exit from bankruptcy. As far as the creditors, passengers, and everyone else that has a determining factor in NWA's success, the strike is long over and is completely irrelevant. Just thought you should be made aware of that, so hopefully you'll at least stop repeating this erronous statement.

You think Scab Air is going to exit BK finny? I don't, and its seems with the $1.1 billion 1Q loss, a few more quarters of those and you can stick a fork in the "flawless" scab plan and Scab Air in general. :unsure: Wait and see is the word of the day, it took EAL 2 years to die, so lets be patient and hope for the best.

I am not really making any predictions about whether or not NWA will emerge, although I'm guessing it will occurr in mid-2007. I am sure that the status of the AMFA strike will be completely irrelevant when/if we get to the time where emerging is discussed. For all intents and purposes, the strike is over. Only in the minds of those on the outside looking in is there still a strike going on. The strikers are no longer withholding their services (which I think is the definition of a strike), since the company no longer needs their services.

Well bean counter I do hope NWA enjoys attracting only the dregs of aviation maintenance, It has earned its place in history as SCABAIR and probably could do no worse by sending it all to singapore or mexico city.

It may only be in the minds of those on the outside, but it will be heard loud and clear from every mechanic that I know, to stear clear of SCABAIR. BTW.. having been in this industry for over twenty years I've become aquainted with A&P's from just about every Major airline, and they send their regards as well...

Then why are they still hiring?

$1.1 billion in one quarter? You may want to rethink what is "over".

Then why are they still hiring?

NW continues to impose silly work rules on the replacement workers. We are hired under an AMFA contract. They bring us here to break a union then want us to operate under a union contract, talk about irony. Now NWA is trying to enforce this contract. The Original Scabs are not taking to it very well. They basically have a contract workforce here that does not take to a bunch of silly work rules. Then there is the x-unionist that has vowed never to work in a union shop again. The seniority word is coming up more and more often, so the Original Scabs are simply moving on thus opening the door for the AMFA Scabs to step in and take their places. It was said before "AMFA will take NWA over again one SCAB at a time." This is almost true, only it will not be done by AMFA but by the AMFA Scabs the very guys AMFA needs to turn this around, the ones that AMFA has turned their backs on.

Just think, it will not be long before Northwest Mx is staffed by Union AMFA Scabs. Where is the Solidarity? Until you guys come up with a better system this is going to be the fate of all unions. Or you will simply become the bootlickers you guys despise so much. Only you will have two pair of boots to lick, the companies and your union leaders.

I doubt very highly you will ever see a full staff of scabs there at SCAB AIR. Anyone who has brains wont want to start a career at Scab Air, especially when they have to work with you. GET THIS STRAIGHT YOU FILTHY SCAB:

NWA will always be in desperate need of help. They must first try to find out why they cant get enough help. By then CH7 will be thru and you will be left out looking in for scraps

Or you will simply become the bootlickers you guys despise so much. Only you will have two pair of boots to lick, the companies and your union leaders....

How can I leave this one go by...First, you were not hired under an AMFA contract. Basically you made a deal with the devil to work for pay CONTRACT SCAB. The only reason seniority is "mentioned" in the private conversations is that the crossers are starting to remember the better days when we had a true "system" in place for greivences and such. All of which are now in the toilet. Nwa can, without regard for your "seniority", impose any rules they wish. And you HAVE to abide by it or hit the street.
Second, any hacks working on planes at nwa are NOT union members. I've said it before but it won't sink in with you SCABs...you crossed a picket line and your union membership was TERMINATED....Third ( and this is the funny part), I was refreshing to see you refer to yourself and your fellow SCABs as BOOTLICKERS ...I just love the TRUTH...

You've got it all wrong union boys.

I got your ‘boy’ swinging!

If unions are so great, then answer me this: In the auto industry . . . there are tons of empty factories in Michigan and a highly skilled auto work force. However all the foreign investment in Auto plants is in the South. Why? Because investors don't want to deal with heavy union mentality such as it exists in Michigan.

Started with the textile workers. Why? Cheap labor. Then most textile industries moved overseas, also due to cheaper labor. ‘Every One Else’ moved for the same reason. Cheap labor!

the only 'PROTECTION' in today's day and age is adaptability, willingness to learn and exceling at your job.

Give me a break! There ‘is’ no protection unless you are in the ‘Executive Class’. Remember Mr. Capitalist, that ‘GOLD’ has no boundaries and in our new ‘GLOBAL’ economy you’re a$$ will eventually be outsourced as well!!

'management suck up'? hmm. . . no, even if I owned my own business, I'd still be pro-capitalism. Go figure.

‘Pure Capitalism’ without components of nationalism/socialism will be (JMHO) our downfall!

You are the most despicable person to walk the earth, I promise when the crap hole you work at decides not to put up with your lazy butt, I will make sure every where you go, to let them know what a piece of workless crap you are...???
Your a Workless (Pun Intended) Piece of CRAP!

Now before the strike and while he was picketing he was one of a "Hardworking union member", now that he has crossed the picket line "Workless Piece of CRAP!" Has AMFA been protecting his "lazy butt" all this time? Maybe every one of the AMFA Boy union members is lazy and that is why NWA is going through such extremes to replace them. This type of union mentality that is being displayed here is what is killing the unions image as a whole.

Mr. L.H. is a true unionist. This guy has stirred up a lot of shet since he has been back yet you guys hammer on him like this. This is where your absolute foolishness shines bright. This is just the type of man you need on your side. You guys just do not understand what is about to happen here in the next couple of months. A substantial amount of the original Scabs are going to be walking out the door, hell it is already happening. AMFA needs the AMFA Scabs for either another walkout or a slow down at best. AMFA is so damn stupid though they would rather have their Scab List high-lighting the "Scab of the Week" and "King Scab" totally destroying any chance of bringing these men back into the fold. As I said before Ignorance is Bliss. Many of these men that crossed is primed for just such an event. After all this riff-raff AMFA has been posting they are going to have to approach these guys and they are fools if they do not.

:down: Scab, what you don't and never will understand is once you scab your a scab for life. Does not matter who is right and who is wrong, if you cross a picket line to do struck work " game over". I do believe AMFA will ever sign or pass a contract where those who chose to slither in would be staying. At least it's a no vote from me. :down: I will not work or patronize any business that employs scabs! If you are a capitalist as you so claim why not do some reading to see if that is what you really are. You are one misguided individual. Like most republicrats today you have no morals or ethics. You go far in this world just to your next hole in the wall job.

Spoken by a true fool that is hung up in the past. If you are incapable of adjusting your strategies and tactics to meet the upcoming obstacles ahead, you are nothing but a fool doomed to lose. No wonder why unionism is in the state it is today.

 

[robbedagain]

unionism is where it is due to the inept incompetent scabs like you pto and scab air mgmt. it is you pto that will never know what a true union loyalist is. One true union loyalist is one that will never cross a picket line and work for the same incompetent carrier like scab air. you are a scab plain and simple, a low life filthy rotten scab. and that goes for any union folks that crossed the line.


No I dont believe big jimmie is incapable of anything. you ont he other hand, well that is a whole different story

Trying to rationalize your cowardice SCAB? The ONLY fool is the one that crosses a strike picket line and steals anothers job all the while helping to lower the wages and benefits of that job.

You want a strategy? How about when people take a stand to better/protect their craft & profession so future generations can benefit from their struggles low life, lieing, cowards such as yourself do not come along for a quick 30 pieces of silver and attempt to help the company.

By the way SCAB, why did you PM me and ask me not to refer to you as a SCAB, (which you are), on another airline thread? Do you think being a SCAB only lasts a short time? I will tell the entire world who SCABS are so they may cross the street when they see you coming, so they may shut their doors when they see you coming, so real union men and women will be able to remember who you are and they can do the same as I do. Now that's a reality you can try and rationalize.

 

[PlayTheOdds]

Trying to rationalize your cowardice SCAB?

Sorry Ken there is no need to rationalize anything. I am here on my own accord, I asked for no ones permission or advice in coming here, it is simply something I wanted to do.

You want a strategy? How about when people take a stand to better/protect their craft & profession so future generations can benefit from their struggles...

Stepping out in front of a tractor-trailer doing 100 MPH is not taking a stand, it is a display of pure ignorance. Whether you believe it or not there are ways to take a stand without it being a kamikaze mission. It just takes a bit more thinking and planning is all.

By the way SCAB, why did you PM me and ask me not to refer to you as a SCAB, (which you are), on another airline thread?

There is plenty of room for you to have your Scab Bashing Sessions right here in the NWA forum. There is no sense in turning every US Aviation Forum into a Scab bashing contest that is all. You can refer to me as SCAB all you want, I do not care. I just asked that you keep it here. I didn't realize that would be such a mystery for you.

Do you think being a SCAB only lasts a short time? I will tell the entire world who SCABS are so they may cross the street when they see you coming...

You just do that Ken. You wouldn't be prejudice would you ?
