Afraid there's a little bit more to it than that.
NY Air was started up by Lorenzo using Texas Air DC-9's. TI Pilots picketed them in New York when they first started up so technically they did cross some sort of line, just not a strike one.
This was at the very beginning of NY Air's history and depending on who you talk to, (TI or NY), they are/aren't scabs.
