In the aftermath of the strike in 1993, all the 600 scabs that flew for United were immediately bumped down the seniority list by the "570" who in a court order were have found to have been denied their rightful seniority by United. The scabs were also social outcasts with their lack of a "battle star" lapel pin instantly outing them as scabs to other pilots.

Sorry, your way too cute with your definition. Most of ALPA including the leadership scabbed after reagan fired the air traffic controllers. Since then I figure an ALPA picket line is just an invitation.

??? I'm not aware that pilots and controllers ever honored each others strikes? Two very different crafts, controllers do more than just airline traffic.

Pilots and longshoremen don't honor each other's strikes either, despite both being in the transportation industry.

That would be funny.

Roger, Continental 152, hold position. Expected departure clearance time when you stop crossing the picket line.

How many ALPA carriers walked out in sympathy in ‘89 when EAL pilots walked out?

Since I grew up in a multi-airline family I lived through a few strikes from the 60's to the 90's. Obviously the purpose of a strike was to deny management the revenue from the trips while still having to maintain the airline. The strategy also required that the other airlines continue flying to keep the government from forcing everyone back to work. If there were sympathy strikes POTUS would most likely issue an executive order forcing all pilots (and sympathetic others, ie. mechanics, FA's and others) back to work thus negating the power of the strike. Routes were controlled and granted or taken away by the CAB a politically appointed board. Cross them and they could shut down your airline or force a merger. It wasn't as simple or as cut and dried as you might suppose. Both Management and Labor walked a very narrow path.

But it was ok for the Delta pilots to pick up green slips en masse on extra sections covering EAL routes during the 1989 EAL strike.

ALPA. The hypocrite union.

I don't remember there being such a thing.

Nothing wrong with that, unless it was EAL code share. The idea is to punish managers, not passengers.
