Please explain your rationale' for that concept.

I believe he is being sarcastic because the idea that anyone should be blacklisted for being a non-scab pilot and earning a living is RIDICULOUS. These people are not airline scabs. This includes potential NAI pilots based in the US. As long as the operation is legal, pilots should not be held accountable for what their airlines do in terms of pricing or competitive strategy. If someone knowingly chooses to fly a Dreamliner at substandard wages, that is their business.
Bottom line, if you blacklist future NAI pilots based in the US, I guess you need to blacklist any pilot flying for a foreign airline impacting Legacy US airline results.
