Scabs

The ScabHopeful said:
"After God had finished the rattlesnake, the toad, and the vampire, he had some awful substance left with which he made a scab."
"A scab is a two-legged animal with a corkscrew soul, a water brain, a combination backbone of jelly and glue. Where others have hearts, he carries a tumor of rotten principles."
"When a scab comes down the street, men turn their backs and angels weep in heaven, and the devil shuts the gates of hell to keep him out."
"No man (or woman) has a right to scab so long as there is a pool of water to drown his carcass in, or a rope long enough to hang his body with. Judas was a gentleman compared with a scab. For betraying his master, he had character enough to hang himself." A scab has not.
"Esau sold his birthright for a mess of pottage. Judas sold his Savior for thirty pieces of silver. Benedict Arnold sold his country for a promise of a commision in the british army." The scab sells his birthright, country, his wife, his children and his fellowmen for an unfulfilled promise from his employer.
Esau was a traitor to himself; Judas was a traitor to his God; Benedict Arnold was a traitor to his country; a scab is a traitor to his God, his country, his family and his class."
Author --- Jack London (1876-1916)

If he hadn't written a piece about "scabs" I'm sure most of you would think a "Jack London" was some sort of alcoholic beverage.

I prefer the lyrics to Zappa's "Stick Together"
This is a song about the union, friends
How they f***ed you over and the way they bends
The rules to suit a special few
And you gets pooched every time the do
You know we gotta stick together
You know we gotta stick together
You know we gotta stick together
You know we gotta stick together
Once upon a time the idea was good
If only theyd a done what they said they would
It aint no better, theys makin it worse
The labor movements got the mafia curse
You know we gotta stick together
You know we gotta stick together
You know we gotta stick together
You know we gotta stick together
Dont be no fool, dont be no dope
Common sense is your only hope
When the union tells you its time to strike
Tell the motherf**ker to take a hike
You know we gotta stick together
You know we gotta stick together
You know we gotta stick together
You know we gotta stick together

A Union worker is someone who wants to be on welfare but refuses to admit it.
How can you funnel kool aid and bend over that far at the same time.keeptheodds said:
There are few life forms lower then a scab. A scab is someone who stabs a man in the back with a butcher knife. A man he does not know and who has done absolutely nothing to him.
Out of curiosity, how is the scab training on the flight attendant end going? A colleague at work got a call from NWA to ditch Eagle and train for NWA for a HUGE bonus. Apparently a friend who used to work for NWA gave this flight attendan'ts name to the recuritment company. I am concerned of many furloughed fas who may consider this option as I'm told they dont' have to give up their recall rights to be scabs at NWA. Someone correct me if I'm mistaken. Very sad times for labor and unions in this country.
Do you how stupid you are? Someone on welfare collects a check by sitting at home and doing nothing. If the unionized airline employees collect a check for doing nothing, then tell us, how do thousands of planes take off and land safely every day? By the way, for a scab you sure seem to be on these boards at all hours of the day. I would think that with NWs ever increasing MELs, that you would be forced to work double shifts and days off. So either you are on these boards on company time ($crewing off when you should be working) or your not really a scab at all and are pretending to be one to stir the pot.keeptheodds said:

I do have insomnia and we are on 6/12's and yes I do this on the clock. This is such a gravy job. Of those 12 hrs. we might actually work 7 hrs. It kind comes and goes in spurts out here. Half of that time is spent locating parts. That’s about to come to an end though. We are fixing that problem. We do appreciate the backlog of MEL's you guys left and the sabotaged aircraft, trashed manuals and computers. I really liked the feces on the floors.

As a kid my buddies and me used to ride our bikes to the airport, check out all the planes and stuff I always thought that aviators and the ground crew were to cool.
WHAT A JOKE, HUH
KTO,
I am sure someone of your ilk would definitely recognize human feces. Are you sure the feces you found were not something that might be left behind you and one of your scab brethren as you walk along. A slug leaves a trail and a scab leaves a feces "follow me" line.
Or of course if could be your brain droppings. There are so many options.
