The union reps I spoke to seemed to think that this would not be a problem and those stuck in Vegas could make it out if need be.
Usually when a strike happens, the company pulls its pilots out of CASS immediately. Usually all airlines let the pilots on strike jumpseat in the cabin though so you are not stuck. Vegas might be tough as your passengers will probably fill up all the remaining seats.
