"Strikebreakers" may also refer to be workers (union members or not) who cross picket lines to work.

technically a "strikebreaker" but scab will work too. last i checked midwest guys are not on strike.

all of you that are ****ed about this deal need to take it right back to the guys that let this happen. you were ****ed about mesa flying the 900 but i see skywest, mesaba, asa, pinnacle, freedom and comair followed suite and no one said a word. now since we at rah got the 190 you're all ****ed but when YOU all get the crj1000 i guess you'll walk off the job and tell the company you're not doing the flying RIGHT? luckily this is happening with an expired contract and we can fix it. it's on certificate and there's not a damn thing we can do about it except fight for fair pay. this is NOT a regional jet and i'll be damned if in the NEW contract we fly it for regional pay.
