Its a numbers thing. Most UAL scabs were guys who crossed the line or were fleet quals IE older dudes. Many of the CAL scabs were hired in their early 20s to get bodies in jets and break the strike. Notice, "many" not "most"
I've seen one UAL scab in my 5+ years here, and more CAL scabs than I can count on my hands. Also, UAL scabs were unwelcome from day 1, while CAL scabs walked around largely unaffected for many years. Just some of the nuance in the situation
