IAM- Scabs? Supports scabbing?

Back to the original post; Can anyone please share what all is required (training, qualification from the FAA, etc.) for someone to taxi an aircraft under it's own power


Depends what your FAA approved GMM says.
 
Typically you have to have an A&P and be fleet qualified on that type (have a familiarization course) and be checked by a designee. It was my understanding that supervisors were being trained for this activity. Which begs the question; who is working in the QA department? If that is mgmt also, they sure have heavy workload; QA, Crew chief, Taxi designees, in addition to supervisor duties....
 
One past poster mentioned pilots taxiing planes for MX. I can't think of any reason why. Why would a pilot stick after a flight just to taxi an airplane for chump change?

Because their a pilot.
 
Just so no AFL-CIO flunky will ever again be tempted to revise history: The IAM agreed to take over struck work even though they state that it cannot be required.

IAM Admits To Contractual Language Allowing Sympathy Strikes

RE: IAM Contractual “Sympathy Strikeâ€￾ Provisions

Dear Ms. Griesgraber:

I am in receipt of your August 5, 2005, letter regarding IAM Contractual Sympathy Strike Provisions. Without getting into the specifics of what IAM-represented employees would or would not do in any particular strike, I am compelled to respond to certain inaccuracies in your letter.

You acknowledge that our agreements permit IAM-represented employees to refuse to cross a legally established picket line without fear of discipline or job loss. However, you attempt to unilaterally revise the contractual language to assert that IAM-represented employees may only refuse to cross the picket line if the line is at the entry point of the employee’s work location. The contracts do not contain any such limitations and we are aware of no legal precedents that would require any such restrictions. To the contrary, as you recognize in your letter, the contracts specifically permit IAM-represented employees to refuse to cross a legally established picket line without threat of discipline, job loss or replacement; there are no further limitations.

The restrictions you have attempted to unilaterally impose exist neither in the contract nor in the law. If, at any point, IAM-represented employees decided to honor another union’s picket lines, the conduct would be legal and protected, in accordance with our agreements.

We further disagree with your assertions in paragraph (2). We decline to get into a debate over the law regarding a hypothetical situation. Suffice it to say that we disagree with your contention that sympathy strikers can be permanently replaced. Again, the collective bargaining agreements clearly permit IAM-represented employees to honor picket lines without fear of job loss or replacement.

Finally, we are concerned about a situation not expressly addressed by your letter – that is, members who fear for their safety and physical well-being should they cross a picket line. Clearly any member who cannot go to work because their safety and physical well-being are threatened can be neither disciplined nor permanently replaced.

Sincerely,


Robert B. De Pace
President/Directing General Chair

They know the job has to get done and for brownie points with the company.
When a tiger is pissed off don't slap it in the face.

Notes being reported from the field:

The Pilots didn't stick around for the morning follies in beantown when the "elite replacement workers" fouled the taxiways by ignoring Tower instruction to taxi via Alpha and ran headlong into oncoming traffic via Kilo.

The Tower had to tell your "elite replacement workers" to back the aircraft into NC and await an escort.

Further, one of your 757s in Beantown had a fuel spill from the No. 1 engine because one of the "elite replacement workers" forgot the O-Ring. Hope you guys notified the proper authorities and arranged a proper cleanup via the local regs.

Its not luck. Its having real unions that are led by people who actually believe in unionism instead of by suck ups who took the job for the salary perks and to escape from the floor.
