Capitalising

So, you're probably aware, the Delta pilots are on the verge of a strike on account of the company threatening to cut their pay.

"If we're on strike next week," Delta told me, "perhaps I can come over to yours and you can whip up a big dinner for all of us."
"And if you're not on strike?"
"Then I'll come over for dinner all the same."
"I figured as much."
