The management has zero value for their employees. ZERO. The contract is weak, at best. But they violate it regularly, and intentionally.
Staying? Hmmm...could be huge gamble to stay or go, like anything. There is a fight to be had at here to make it better. But it will be a fight.

There will be a fight all right, but it will mostly be the pilot group fighting amongst themselves. It does not matter if you think the equity stake is fair or not. As you can see they are already using it to divide the pilot group. Very soon, the end of 2015?, the pilot group will be equal and there will be those holding on to the dream of a 300,000 dollar pay out and negotiating from that stand point and the other half that wants to be brought up to industry standard. Indigo does not even have to hire Ford and Harrison during negotiations. Of course they may be in and out before we even get to that point.
Then we will be arguing about if FAPA money will be used to fight the inevitable lawsuits that will happen when the equity payouts don't turn out as planned as we are negotiating a contract. Might happen, might not, just like St. Augustine is going to be our east coast base.
