Where's the deterrent in the equation? If all one has to do to be accepted after scabbing is smile, buy some beer, apologize, and fly a good jet, what's stopping anyone from crossing? Please remember while they are smiling and verbally falling on their sword for scabbing, they took someone's seat who was trying to better the profession. They're reaping the benefits of superior seniority at an airline where they probably would not have been hired under a normal interview process.

Now, back to this massive bid and the hopes of many more to follow.
