What is "bad for the company [you work for] over the long term" is bad for you as well. If you really want to "support Amerijet pilots," cancel your cable subscription and maybe your lawn service, and get out your checkbook. And fly your trips, wherever they may be scheduled.
A pilot who is on the street or out of the business altogether is of NO use to the cause.

The pilot might not want to at all. In this example a freight company with a non-unionized labor group is saying "we have a flight tomorrow from KXXX to KYYY and your show time is 1200". Can that pilot refuse the flight because it's struck work by someone else and be legally protected or would it be termination for him? I'm not commenting on the validity of a union I fully understand why they're needed I'm just asking this because honestly I don't know the answer and there are a few non-union carriers out there, both 135 and 121, that could make the matter much more difficult.

2. Your question is yet another great reason to unionize. A right that Amerijet is trying to take away from there pilots. Unions take the fear out of making decisions like this.
3. There are only two sides to this issue. Are you a scab or not? There is no grey area.

Looks like they've been using a Lear to move crews around. As a furloughed airline guy flying charter would it be considered scabbing to move the crews?
As much fun as it would be to tell this guys to **** off, it would almost certainly be the end of my job (and knowing my sleazy boss, a lawsuit).
Any thoughts?

AJT just got off a 767 flight using the Canadian company Cargojet. The pilots getting on the flight refused to even look at the pilots and other union supporters pleading with them not to cross the line. They knew what they were doing and will suffer the consequences. Never thought a Canadian company would swoop down and take American struck freight. New low for Canadian labor. Oh, well, let's see how many times they can pull this off. They better not use Miami hotels. AJT is also using different staging areas for their scabbed pilots. They were chased for a while, but got away. Sooner or later, their staging places will be located. Shame, shame, you rat pilots.

And their managers are going to say, "Good! If you don't want to be involved, then DON'T be involved! Just show up for your trip, and do your damn JOB"

2004 updated list. It's actually been updated this year (for the CAL scab who died at the controls) but I don't where it might be on the web.
