Basic supply and demand is turning the tables and bringing this race to the bottom to a halt and is giving us a chance to substantially raise the bar. Southern Air is proving this theory at this very moment. Pilots are simply unwilling to provide their services to an airline and get treated like dirt when they can go elsewhere and work under a great contract.
This is just not what's happening, Driver. SA is receiving a steady stream of resumes, interviewing and training. And if I was a young slick putting together a run a Delta, I would apply too. Who doesn't want 200 line adjustment hours a year?
Any strategy that hinges on patching together ABX, Atlas, "Kalitta," and Southern memberships into one, cohesive agency for change is...DOA.
The advantage will go to the 1st EXCO to sign a TA that passes.
