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.
I stick to my previous prediction that you will end up on a scab list before your career is over.

They can't give all the flying to go jet that quick, they are going to have to meet some demands and if they don't what do you have to loose, they certainly can't fire everyone. We are no more unified at RW but at the moment we don't have fire fight on our hands. Not criticizing, just saying...
The TSA pilots
are together. We are a very strong pilot group. We are solid in the fact that we aren't going to roll over for a sub-par contract with no job security when our "sister" is growing and hiring. We are not going to do anything illegal now or ever especially while we are in this vital times for our contract. What you described would be instantly picked up on my mgmt as a job action and would have further consequences.
