You are mixing everything all together...
First without disrespect for the workers here , you can not compare them with airlines pilots.
These poor guys can barely read , have no education and are coming from third world countries have their passport confiscated and park in the middle of the desert and as far as I know most of the pilots here are coming from Europe , USA , Australia etc... with a good level of education have their passport with them and live in nice villas.
Second , who is talking about a strike , you can refuse to fly to some destinations but accept to fly to all the other ones , this for me is not called a strike.
Third , as I said before if only 2 or 3 pilots refuse than they could be in trouble but if the majority stick together , do you think that they will put all of them in jail !!!
I doubt it , it would be a very bad publicity for an airline that try to dominate the aviation world.
