Even one is too many.
But seriously, we're not 'allowed' to talk about it.
If you want to see all of them, current and retired - search under the forum titled 'Union Talk' for 'Scab List.' There is a current list.

It would have been really interesting if Northwest had merged with Continental instead of Delta. The way Northwest has treated their pilot SCABS has been truly awesome.
I Jumpseated on Northwest in the early eighties, and I wasn't sure why the cockpit was so quiet. Then the F/O got up to use the blue room. He first packed up his flight case with all his maps and approach plates and headset, then put on his uniform jacket and overcoat, got his hat and then took his flight case and suitcase back to the blue room.
The Captains only comment was that he had learned the hard way.

There's nothing wrong with this topic. SCABS should be discussed, so pilots can learn not to cross picket lines. To answer the question, I don't know. Too Many! I've heard 300 to 800, which is a big spread. I have the scab list and CAL seniority list, but I don't have the energy and time to put the two together. Many Scabs have had their names changed or use nicknames. It's not easy to match the lists. How many United scabs are there now? How many scabs (CAL/UAL/EAL) got hired at other airlines? It would be nice if someone (like a Union) would track this. They have got away too easy for what they did.

Afraid there's a little bit more to it than that.
NY Air was started up by Lorenzo using Texas Air DC-9's. TI Pilots picketed them in New York when they first started up so technically they did cross some sort of line, just not a strike one.
This was at the very beginning of NY Air's history and depending on who you talk to, (TI or NY), they are/aren't scabs.
