JMHO.................. Believe me, I've had a few guys I know that have crossed the picket line and gave me a ride to work. Sorry guys, but I'm not going to miss a trip because a line crosser is flying the plane.
I never need a ride that bad. I commute on the first of 3-4 possible jumpseat opportunites...I'll catch the next one. If I get denied by a scab because of my ALPA pin, so be it. He's got more to worry about than I do. If you work in a unionized profession, you don't cross a picketline...period, what happens after is par for the course. Plus I have a much better chance of being bumped because the flight is full, not because of any politics. Your argument has about a 1% chance of happening, especially outside of CAL.
