Good to fly with, just not short of opinions.
Good observation. I passed on being one due to the belief that a strike was upcoming, and I did not believe in starting training, but not "turning a wheel".
My impression from flying with many of them is that many are fine - and that many are opportunists. When they were interviewed and selected United was looking for individualists (trying to be nice here). Even though being swayed by "ALPA and Jamie got a hold of them" many have basic personality traits that made them desireable to a company looking to pretraining pilots for a strike.
