Back in the late 90's AirCanada's regional pilots(AirBC in Western Canada) went on strike. AirCanada then sent most of their RJ's and AirCanada mainline pilots to to cover the flying. So in effect it crushed the regional strike easily. They kept these mainline pilots in the airport hotel in vancouver, so they could avoid the picket lines. These mainline pilots who were flying the RJ's were labled scabs. I was just wondering what you all think of that. Would they be considered scabs or not?
I personaly think it was totaly fair and the AC pilots were not scabs, they were simply filling in so mainline aircanada would not suffer from a regional disruption.
