Lord Spandex Masher, I'd assume Scandinavian pilots with a right to vote (for a government) were among those voters who elected governments that create and uphold relatively decent labor laws. Let me cite Stefan Löfven, Swedish Prime Minister, a former trade union chairman, answering a question in parliament what he thinks of the strike: "I think it's despicable to use strikebreakers". Frankly, Scandiland pilots will be quite ok without the help of others, they're capable of helping themselves, and I don't think they're expecting the help of others, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
