Maybe a good second choice from a union solidarity perspective but also from an Atlas pilot perspective.
I think Wells is concerned about 1224 but looks out for the Atlas pilot group first.
Of course, ABX pilot group put all this in motion several years ago when they made the decision to give away leadership of the local.
