Your flight isn’t with OO pilots.
I do agree OO pilots are not scabs. With that said, I do feel the OO pilot group has greatly benefitted from the effort and cash of their unionized peers. The Clint Eastwood trajedy that is ALPA is in itself not deserving of anyone's respect at the regional level, but the OO group's repeated refusal to support their profession in the only way possible, is shameful. Unfortunately ALPA is the only professional organization available to airline pilots, but it does have a long list of accomplishments which directly benefit pilots of OO. Just to name one- KCM would not exist without ALPA. How many OO pilots use KCM? A few is my guess.
