And if your spouse has cancer and your struggling to pay the bills, then what? What should I say? "sorry honey, we cant afford that treatment because guys at work will think I am a scab".

You should find a job or three at HOME that keeps you by her side EVERY NIGHT. I don't care if its cleaning pig pens. I think you're just trying to make a point, but I wouldn't leave my wife at home to travel around the country if that were the situation. Your spouse is more important than your flying job. Poor argument.

I rarely picked up open time, I value my time away from work. However I never did when we were furloughing or downgrading. With that said, I would much rather see someone picking up the open time rather than getting it forced upon a person via jr man or extension. The company will do that before they bring back 2 furloughs to cover 100 hours of open time. I had a dude yell at me for picking up open time on my 33 flight hour/75 credit hour CDO schedule, meanwhile he's bidding max working 95 hours. Now who's helping the company if he's working more than I am? especially if I can pick up 1 2 day trip and still work 45-50 hours less but make more than him....Don't work harder, work smarter.

If you cross a picket line, a scab is a scab. The reasons why do not matter. But if you are referring to picking up open time while guys are on the street, that is not being a scab. Its in poor taste, but nothing to get a scab label over.
