If you had more than 5 minutes in the airline industry, you'd realize that competing airlines flying a striking airline's routes helps the cause, not hurts it. It apples pressure to the company, as they watch the competition grab their market share.
What would be scab worthy would be if alter ego pilots who work for the same parent company started flying routes they don't normally fly. For example, the Comair strike, if Delta and ASA had started flying Comair routes they didn't fly previously.
Now before you try a ha ha gotcha moment, that may diminish my uncalled for comment that you are scabs, but you are certainly still cockroaches for flying mainline equipment at regional compensation. You're putting downward pressure on every other contract in the industry. And you're proud of it.
