Not to mention the furloughed at JB from the above mentioned carriers returning to their mainline employers. Between or growth and attrition there should be plenty of movement for the junior half of half of the seniority list. Without a CBA I am sure we will not be competitive as a destination carrier hence the quality of our new hires will deminish.
I think you are right, there will be a big exodus once the major and legacy carriers start hiring again. Coming from a military background this place was a bad move when I look back. I should have never believed all the hype I had heard, would have saved a lot of time to just go do something else.
