It will become obvious very soon just whom will be in the majority at OS.
Low-time, under-qualified, those with violations , life time non-sched guys and otherwise undesirables willing to ignore and subvert the hiring ban. In a nut shell, people who lack character. No wonder Willie has sought you out, he is just like you.
Rationalize it any way you can that let's you live with the fact...you are a SCAB and will be remembered by your colleagues as such for all of your days.
