If you'd like to hide behind the saying of "anything is possible", OK yeah, everybody knows that and it goes without saying. Combined with our Chairmans knowledge/experience, the Teamsters, and my experience of going through two acquisitions, I can imagine a LIKELY outcome and its far worse than the facts and reactions I presented.
Yep, one acquisition was enough for me to understand it is about the upper management and share holders, not the employees. Come here at you're own peril. I think the note from WF yesterday saying "they had hired outsiders to guide them through this" should tell us that we "Atlas" want to deny any wrong doing and push the blame to "them" the outsiders. Polish the resume, UAL is going to add 2500 additional pilots to their ranks of 12.5k for a total of 15k. They will be turning up the training to 120+ a month! I smell opportunity.
