Don't many pilots out there find the faith in the mystical powers of the 'IFALPA ban' touching, if a bit sad?

I feel duty bound to point out that there are tens of thousands of pilots out there who would see any 'strike' in these terms: a group of pilots has declined to do their job for the pay offered. Having declined to do their job, the company has found people to replace them. There is no tragedy or moral outrage here. Too bad the strikers weren't a tad more aware though, as now their dependents have to suffer for their greed and hubris.

Your 'struck work' and 's**b' claptrap is about sixty years out of date.

Does whoever started this shrill thread (and about 90% of those and the Fragrant Harbour forum) REALLY believe that there are pilots out there who, in the face of mortgage payments and school fees, would hesitate for a nano-second in taking one of these jobs?

Cute, in a way. Like belief in Santa Claus...
