I agree with frmdashtrash. I don't know why some are misconstrueing Piedmont being too costly to refleat, as Piedmont will get merged. I'd like to think they wouldn't shaft all the crewmembers here, but they don't gain a whole lot by merging. We don't have many jet pilots, so many would be harder to train then simply filling positions from other sources. Piedmont will stand alone just fine as a ground ops only company. Yes, it is possible Piedmont will merge, but I would say just as likely, they will shut flight ops down. We won't know for sure until it happens. Another reason we should have had a spine when voting on the contract. We truly have nothing left to lose.
