Was the crew that eventually flew the flight Capt. Wells refused, considered scabs? Did they not receive compensation they might not otherwise have absent her refusal to fly?
If, after her China Syndrome, Capt. Wells decided to hand in her ID and quit, would the next pilot who flew the flight she may have been scheduled for be considered a scab?
Changing the landscape slightly, suppose her flight was a domestic one, say PHL-PHX. If her flight was canceled and the passengers re-accomodated on another US flight, would the pilots of that flight be considered scabs? Suppose they were placed on a Southwest flight. Should the Southwest captain block the door and not allow those passengers on his airplane under penalty of being labeled a scab?
Are refusals to fly to be treated as mini-wildcat strikes and considered as radioactive struck work, or not? If so, why have a grievance process and why should anyone expect management to adhere to a contract. If not, why would one pilot be considered a scab and another simply responding to a reserve callout if it's only a matter of scale?
