Exactly. The goal is to attain a fair and equitable contract with job protection. The MEC will order a strike as a last resort to attain this goal.

I feel all us pilots, furloughed and still flying, are behind you 110%!!! Hopefully you all will be an example to others in contract negotiations which will hopefully mark the beginning of a change in the industry! Keep up the good work and Good Luck!

Also, it is very easy to transfer flying from G7 to TSA and vice versa. Our schedulers were asked to staff G7 flights with TSA planes and crews as well as the other way around already. This doesn't make either group scabs, but it does illustrate the fact that if we strike, G7 pilots WILL be placed on our routes and it is up to them whether they will become scabs or be fired.

And I think that will be a huge turning point for G7 in general. Either they'll end up being real scabs, or they'll finally show some (for lack of a better term) sack, stand up to mgmt, and gain some credit which will go a long ways in the eventual integration...
Personally, I have no idea which way it'll go... (Though I really hope it won't come to a strike. I'd much rather the company come up with the aforementioned fair and equitable contract)
