To each his own I guess.
I do not buy into the scab argument. A scab is someone who crosses the picket line and does work the MEC has defined as struck work. Any other use of the word for personal benefit belittles its significance.
Aside from the union issues, and yes I do understand they are significant, are there any other reasons a current line pilot would not want this position? Pay, quality of life, retirement benefits, etc.?

Did you say quality of life??? Well we all know what that means in the dark side plus leaving the greatest union on earth that protected thier own while on furlough and join a bunch that deprived thier own management spouse from having health care while the executives and BOD were rewarding themselves with record bonuses and degrading 100 years of brand name of ups with cutbacks that finally lead to the biggest embarrassment of 2013 and to be a yes man for the rest of the career to this bunch. Jim thank you for the offer but no thank you.
