A pilot would have no legal standing in a termination hearing for refusing to fly his freight. Abuse of the word "scab" makes the word meaningless.
In your scenario, GoJet absolutely COULD refuse to cross a picket line. A far more pertinent example in this case is the fact that ALL Atlas AND Southern pilots honored the ABX strike, and ALPA knew exactly what was going on that day. It appears as though you’d better cut the BS and think up a different excuse.
