MunkeyButtr has a point. Yes, it is the way of this industry, but it's a shame nonetheless. People are having their lives turned upside down by this turn of events. There are a few pilots who will quit rather than force themselves into a permanent commute. Therefore, I'd refrain from celebrating. A buddy of mine is a senior line pilot/check airman with SKW and was the first to notify me of this, and offered up his apologies. He calls this a canibalistic industry - and he's right.
