How many people at company "B" would refuse to come to work of go on strike. Yeah alot of people might agree that it's wrong and it is. But how many people would actually stand up and refuse to fly. When it comes to the bottom line, that is having a job, not alot of people would protest. I know there is a rumor at XJT among some pilots going on, that the Flying we did for united in Early 2008 will come into play later this year when TSA will be dissolved and XJT will fly their planes. I know i am probably not a highly respected member on this board due to some points of view that some people might disagree with. But here is my point, just like most companies out there that only care about their bottom line, same rule applies to alot of people on personal level as well. Threaten someones job and they will do what you want therm to do, even if it's immoral or wrong. The bottom line is what people care about. Everything else is just for the show. Again not something that I beleive is right, just speaking from experiance of dealing with people.
The point your missing is, you already have work, and there's plenty apparently if you guys are hiring street caps. What you're saying is you will take work at the cost of a fellow pilot's job. Taking struck work makes you a scab.
