Is this from an acutual ALPA archived article? Being very strong supporters of ALPA I would not think UAL pilots would cross a picket line, not withstanding the fiasco of the mid 1980's of course. I know that HP pilots were there too since Murdoch was in cahootz with Beauveis at the time. I remember seeing placks and letters of appreciation from Ansett and Rupert himself hanging on the hallowed halls of America West at the old Centerport office location back in 90.
