Some have already quit their jobs for the June 1 class. Are they going to be held hostage by one or both sides?
If the pilots strike, or if Omni initiates a lockout but continues training, will the people in ground school face the choice of being scabs for attending class or being fired for not attending? Not that scabbing is actually a choice.
Will these people be included in any back to work agreement? Will the 1224 go "to the mat" for them if it comes down to it?

Airline Pilots Association v United Airlines
United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois, E.D.
August 1, 1985
III. CONCLUSION
Based on the foregoing findings of fact and conclusions of law, it is hereby ordered that:
1. The Court declares that United's policies of denying employment and accrued seniority to the Group of 500 pilots and of conducting and attempting to implement the strike-related rebid of pilot positions violate the Railway Labor Act, 45 U.S.C. § 151, et seq.
2. The Court declares that United's policy of paying to fleet-qualified permanent replacement captains and second officers rates of $75,000 and $50,000 per year, respectively, does not violate the Railway Labor Act, 45 U.S.C. § 151, et seq.
3. Judgment is entered in favor of plaintiff and against defendant on plaintiff's claims regarding the Group of 500 pilots and the strike-related rebid of pilot positions.
4. Judgment is entered in favor of defendant and against plaintiff on plaintiff's claim regarding rates of pay for fleet-qualified permanent replacements.
5. Defendant, its officers, agents and employees are hereby:
(a) directed and enjoined to restore the "Group of 500" pilots who elected to respect ALPA picket lines to the status of employees, and to assign them immediately to line pilot service if they completed their training, and otherwise permit them to complete their training without discrimination, and then enter line service, with seniority in all cases accrued from May 17, 1985;
(b) restrained and enjoined from implementing bid awards made to pilots during the pilot strike, or from in any other way preferring nonstrikers for any vacancies that have arisen since the end of the strike or will arise in the future.
6. Pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 52(b), the Court reserves the right to amend the above findings and conclusions or make additional findings and conclusions upon motion of either party made no later than ten days from today and the Court may amend the judgment accordingly.
