Please tell me you're joking.

Crossing a picket line is not only wrong but is career suicide. As a SCAB, you will not get hired by any union company if there are line pilots involved in the hiring process. You will not be able to jumpseat. If you're lucky enough to get a job, you will be loathed by most people you work with. You might as well have "SCAB" tattooed on your forehead if you cross a picket line.

The RLA (Railway Labor Act) makes it very difficult for pilots to strike and a strike will only occur as a very last resort. Your fellow pilots will not take kindly to anybody who undermines their hard fought efforts in trying to achieve a fair and equitable contract.

If you have any doubts about what you would do if/when a strike occurs, please do not come to Pinnacle. As I've mentioned before, our pilots have already authorized the union to call a legal strike if necessary with over 99% voting in favor. This would not be a good place to cross a picket line... If you still are not convinced, may I suggest Gojets perhaps?
