From that article: "Individuals who successfully complete flight attendant training may be offered employment in the event of a labor dispute or strike," the ad says. In other words.... SCABS WANTED, apply now!  |

The reason I said this is that they seem to be building up whole back-up Northwest. Which is why they should hire pilots next. Pilot who are willing to work for free. Because working for free is good for Northwest and it helps them recover financially.  |

The AA F/As who scabbed in 93 are still, to this day, outcasts. Those who fly with them only communicate with them in as much as is required to complete job duties. Most people aren't downright mean to them, but they are certainly not treated with the same professional courtesy the rest of the crew is. Yes, there is a list somewhere. I didn't carry it myself, but it's there. Scabbing is not something that is soon forgotten. |

I flew with one a few years ago. He said something about being previously working for American and after a little digging, and a little googling, determined that he was an AA FA scab. I think the first hint was when he kept ignoring the "Why in the world did you leave AA after being there for so long?" |

| Re: Northwest hiring flight mechanics... just in case
Check out this lovely thread from A.net regarding scab mechanics in Tuscon. http://www.airliners.net/discussions....main/2159924/ For the record, I will work on whatever plane are brought to my company, I was working here before and will still be working here after any strike. But I would never try to cross a picket line. |
