After the better part of a decade, an independent union (IACP) was brought back on the property in the early 90s. That wouldn't have been possible if the strikers hadn't worked with the scabs, and that's a large part of why the attitudes at the carriers are so different. Subsequently, ALPA had no choice but to accept the IACP membership in its entirety if it wanted CAL pilots back in the fold.
