Nice BYOB!
I like the way you looked cleanly through the rhetoric and pressed on with your plans for you and for Atlas.
As much as the talk makes you think it is a sinking ship and the rats are jumping overboard you can bet your life that it will not be that bad at all...
Mgmt. is greedy and divisive towards the pilots right now, that is their job and they do it well, you can't let emotions get in the way of that. Got to keep an eye on the ball.
With that said, management is probably keenly aware of the gun they are playing with is loaded and if they force a substandard contract on the pilots, then they will have everything to lose. There will be no manpower left to move their planes and bring their plans for future expansion into fruition.
They (management) have to be careful too. Simply said...
