Mainline strike vs regional flying overlap

[SteamyNicks]

This question has been burning in the back of my head for a while. I've got 2 scenarios, but let's assume xyz major contracts abc regional to do flying for it, and some of that flying overlaps. Say, Cle to bos, sometimes flown by mainline, but sometimes flown by regional.
Now scenario 1. Mainline strikes, is abc regional flying struck work when they fly their usual scheduled route of Cle to bos?
How about scenario 2. Mainline strikes, cancels the mainline flight Cle to bos, and instead asks regional partner to operate the flight in the normally mainline slot. Is this flying struck work?
Lastly, scenario 3. Another strike, but this time mainline asks regional to fly to a destination not normally a part of regionals route structure, instead of mainline flying it. Is this flying struck work?
These are just simply out of curiosity.

Nope.

I believe so.

Lastly, scenario 3. Another strike, but this time mainline asks regional to fly to a destination not normally a part of regionals route structure, instead of mainline flying it. Is this flying struck work?

Yes.

Also, look for a term called "up-gauging".

Very well. Thank you for the answers. A job at some crummy regional is not worth it! I couldn't find much on the issue, but I didnt know the term up-gauging

Nah, there's a system set up to handle this stuff. A good company won't even put you into that position in the first place.

"Up-gauging" is when, say Skyway flies a Beech 1900 from MKE to GRR, Midwest Express flies a DC-9 from MKE to GRR. Midwest Express goes on strike and Skyway goes from a Beech 1900 to a CRJ900... just for example's sake.

A regional with a union will almost assuredly keep you out of these situations.

Non-union becomes trickier.

Yeah, your union will not let you fall into the trap of a scab. They will be in talks with said struck union and they will come to an agreement of what is legit and what isn't.

Also the pilot group that is on strike will normally staff a phone line that you can call to find out if a flight you are assigned to is considered a struck flight.
