No. because the mechanic's union told the pilot's union it was OK for the pilots to report for work. Now, if the pilots started wrenching on planes, then yes, they would have been scabs.

Crossing a picket line means doing the actual work a striking union member would have been doing. The FAs also showed up for work with the OK from the mechanic's union.
