What do you call pilots who cleaned planes during the 30 day cooling off period and during the five day strike?

According to Nos, F/S made too much money so that doesn't count...... :blink:

Jim,

Utility cleaned planes then, not fleet service.

Fleet was non-union back in 1992, they organized in 1995.

My mistake - utility made too much money according to Nos.....

Isn't your statement above the same excuse reasoning you gave about my statement? And then you somehow invoked the raping of boys? If it was all as black and white, right and wrong, moral or immoral as you seem to think then why are you giving a technical out to United?

No, your reasoning is the same reasoning some in our society use to sanction despicable actions. That is all. If you read more into that, then that is your fantasy (or reality).

What do you call US Air pilots that made a secret deal with the company to fly over the IAM picket line in October of 1992?

The deal was that every pilot would get paid for their trip regardless if it flew or not.

The company grounded all the MD80s, DC-9s, F28s, F100s and some 737-200s.

What do you call pilots who cleaned planes during the 30 day cooling off period and during the five day strike?

Actually, that is only half of what happened.

A deal was made because the company chose to ground certain fleet types, only those pilots of those fleets were compensated for missed trips. As usual, the rest had minimum guarantee, an almost 20% pay-cut if they could not make up the time.

As I was not flying my non-grounded flights and therefore not getting paid, during the time I spent at the airport cruising the ramp and crew rooms with cell phone and reporting problems to ALPA, I saw no pilot "clean" an airplane. I did however, see one (I can only assume) tightwad cruise a cabin looking for and finding a newspaper. Perhaps that kind of thing is to what you refer?

I did not see any scabs at my domicile. Sorry if you had different experiences.

I saw many pilots clean planes during the 30 day cooling off period, filed a couple of hundred of grievances and many of us had loved ones in CSA or FS still working as they were non-union and they informed us of what was going on.

Also if you were cruising the ramp and the crew rooms and not up on the airplane of course you would not see any pilots cleaning planes as you were not on it.

Please stay on topic.

OT alert!


Oh, you got me!

...and I met incoming crews at the planes to relay information and try to get them to, cough, cough, consider potential "eye" problems.

I would not have posted about the tightwad snatching a paper in the cabin unless I saw it happen. Ironic, isn't it, just to put it back OT.
