Will the IBT get me a new job when they fire me for refusing to fly? Will the IBT pay my bills? With no protection there isnt much I can do for you besides support you in other ways.
If the Aeroservice guys volunteered then shame on them but if their company assigned them the trip with no union there isnt much they can do. That goes for any company with no union... You cant expect someone to tow the line for you with everything to lose and nothing to gain. If they refuse they get fired and there wont be any union paying them, nor will the union get them a new job.
Why are you even posting on here? Are you just looking for some validation of your position? Do you want someone to say "go ahead and fly, cross the picket line, your non-union so thats ok?" Would that give you the excuse you need? Would that take the responsibility off of you?
