I know of a few that are thinking of bailing to either FDX/UPS or Emirates or Asia contract flying. It seems the more mgmt brags about how great our pilot group is, i have the warm and fuzzy feeling they're just sharpening the knives and see how much blood they can wring out of us.

This company is not the same as pre-BK, where employees feel the need to attach to the company and help it grow. It's evident in our customer service, and in how we treat our colleagues. And it will show up in our contract negotiations. Democracy will be at its best, the majority of the pilot group will vote in a TA, whereas the minority will have no say. Let's hope the majority of us vote to improve on SCOPE first!
