Is there going to be backlash on them?
No, they're not scabs, not at all. A scab crosses a picket line when there is a strike. Let's not diminish the meaning of scab.
That said, this is truly bad juju. If ABX pilots are unionized and this is against the contract, it needs to be grieved (and probably is). If it's not a contract violation, then there is no leg to stand on. Don't blame the new-hires, blame management and/or a weak contract (if one even exists).
