Nice quibble.
You crossed a picket line of fellow NWA employees. Members of an independent union.
Who crossed the ALPA picket line in 1998?
Those are just facts. You can ignore them, or quibble them into a manageable mush you expect others to swallow - but the simple truth is ALPA was successful and the independent unions weren't...right there where you worked.

Wrong! ALPA told you that you could honor the picket line and would not be subject to discipline. You had the opportunity to honor the picket line, but you would not have been paid for the trip.
You crossed.
Deal with it however you choose, but don't EVER tell another Delta pilot that
they don't "get it"! Pre-merger Delta pilots have never crossed a picket line. You have. On your property.
Get it?
