Question What should "outside" pilots do?

One theory holds that a striking union should welcome outside carriers coming in to fly the "struck work". The idea is that this puts additional pressure on the struck company by threatening a permanent loss of market share. The counter-argument is that, even if management eventually caves in, the striking union may have permanently lost some members' jobs.

I would venture to guess, it has more to do with the unions bottom line than the profession.
