Although I think each union shop can determine beforehand what they consider struck work.....they would be free to allow specific exceptions.....it would all be clearly spelled out what you can & cannot do.....

Ok guys serious question. Only a hypothetical of course. What if the worse possible scenario for allegiant management occurs; nmb grants our unions proffer request. 30 day cooling off, we reject arbitration, not sayin that would happen.
We have a mandated system chief pilot required by faa regs, then we have all these enforcer types around the system, our base chiefs. If we were to lock out and strike, what would be the accepted protocol to be considered a scab? Who gets a pass?

Unsecured Jet Bolts Under Heightened FAA Scrutiny at Allegiant - Bloomberg Business
Allegiant said in response to questions from Bloomberg that all its aircraft “were found to be in working order.”
By that time, mechanics had already come across two other jets with bolts in similar locations that weren’t properly locked in place, according to company repair logs obtained by Bloomberg. Later that month, they discovered another unsecured bolt on a third plane. While Allegiant says the fasteners weren’t on the same component that failed in Las Vegas, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration says it is aware of the findings and has stepped up oversight of the airline.
“The FAA intensified its focus on the carrier’s flight operations and aircraft maintenance programs,” the agency said Oct. 15 in an e-mailed statement, without elaborating.

A Look At Allegiant Travel After Q3 Earnings - Allegiant Travel Company (NASDAQ:ALGT) | Seeking Alpha
Conclusion
Allegiant is a unique airline, and with so few routes that have any competition, it will not face the same retaliatory pressures that are currently facing Spirit from the major carriers. This, along with its dedication to keeping its cost structure low and its CEO's heavy investment in the airline, makes it a strong buy in my opinion. I would wait however to see how labor negotiations with the pilots play out, and wait for a long-term contract to be signed before buying into or adding to this stock.

The COO's letter seems to indicate that G4 pilots are now closer to being put "on ice" than released.
I'd submit that if there is no status quo for the company to violate, same goes for the pilots. I wonder if any action is being considered?
