Last night a SCAB working NWA a/c wandered into AA's maintenance department looking for parts for a Delta jet that were to come in on one of our jets.
This SCAB walked up to the first AMT in the break room and was ignored. After asking about where his parts would be he continued into the next room where I was one of two AMTs signing inspections for our respective a/c. Since I was the closest this SCAB came up to me and asked about his parts. I knew him to be a SCAB and asked him matter of factly if he worked on NWA a/c. He said, "Yes." I informed him he was a SCAB and I don't help/like or talk to SCABS. Now here is the real sad part. This SCAB claimed he was NOT a SCAB.
I reminded him that he was a SCAB because NWA AMFA AMTs are on strike and THAT makes him a SCAB. He said, "No, I work for Certified Aircraft Services." The denial this SCAB possessed is legendary. He admitted to working NWA a/c while NWA AMTs are on strike yet he is NOT a SCAB because he works for a different company? I informed him that I don't talk to SCABS and could care less about his parts. How sad indeed.
NWA AMFA AMTs are still on strike and they are still not alone. SCABS will always get treated like SCABS. They do not belong amongst honorable people.
