Yes with a 99% strike vote, the operation would stop, period. The losses would mount by the tens of millions $ every hour. Top managers' jobs would not survive a day of that.
And no pool of wanna-be potential scabs waiting in the wings, and no capacity to train them if there were. Any qualified has numerous opportunities which are far, far better than crossing a line.
But none of that even matters now, the company bargained in good faith, that buys them at least a couple years with the NMB.
