Ok ... how many. Give me a number.
They were hired to cross a picket line. They knew what they were doing.
ALPA intervened ... held their hand and kept all but 6 from crossing.
Most I have flown with were ok to fly with. Some were nut cases that never would have been hired sans the upcoming strike.
Many boasted how they ‘
saved’ the airline.
Late 84 I was approached and handed an app ... I challenged the guy about UAL hiring for a strike. He confirmed it. UAL was always my first choice ... but not like that.
In the end you can’t change the facts. Spin it however you need to to ensure you feel better.
