Bingo. Every non-union furloughed pilot (and probably plenty of RJ pilot scabs-in-waiting) would jump at the chance to take our jobs faster than Bill Clinton would stick a cigar...never mind.

The public won't care about the picket lines. The politicians might use it as an excuse to legalize cabotage. ALPA wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Our contracts would be immediately (and legally) voided, and we'd be screwed. It would take decades to get everything we have now, meager as it is, back...if ever.
