Although temporarily it might seem good, the job of helping other carriers to become stronger at your expense doesn't seem something to be positive about IMO. I suppose it depends on whether one considers short-term gratification or long-term stability a more important factor is deciding what is positive or not.
It is good news. This should temporarily help schedules and upgrades. It also means that the quick upgrading scum are done making there moves. Time for AAG to pony up and show WO's the money and QOL they deserve. This will be the only way to attract/retain pilots. In the mean time their pilots are bleeding out to the LCC,ULCC's, and other places. The cost to bring flying in house would be far greater than sweetening the pot at the WO's. The flow and quick upgrade alone will not cut
