TP, It would seem to me that if ALPA pilots performed the job of a Flight engineer for Eastern then that would be doing struck work. If the ALPA Eastern pilot performed a job ( like being a pilot not a flight engineer ) then that would not be performing struck work.

Haven't there been times when say the Flight Attendants went on strike but the pilots did not. The pilots flying the plane did not scab unless they became Flight Attendants.

Some unions go so far as to not cross other union's legal picket lines. This is to show support and not necessarily out of concern for becoming a scab.
