in all fairness, that's how things are right now too. at the end of the day not one of us has a crystal ball. It's an industry that historically moves in large waves. The facts are pilots are now very aware of scope release and I just don't see anyone giving another seat ever again. Make them go through bankruptcy to get because heads usually roll for that. At some point the courts are going to see what's going on here, just taking longer than we'd like.
the one thing this job does is change.
