And that said, I guess it's one less guy I have to compete with for a legacy spot.
We live in a global economy now. You have to learn to embrace change, try to figure out how to capitalize from this is the smart move. This is a done deal. Burying your head in the sand isn't going to change anything. A lot of people outside of 50,000 airline pilots have more to gain.
And who's to say how things will turn out, more US airline pilots flying for more carriers with dwindling pilot supplies can only be a good thing for pilots.
Things are always in motion. What will change next? Recinding the 1500 hour rule? Going to age 67? Allowing retiring Captains to sit right seat till 75? Single pilot cockpits? Hyperloop rail?
Alpa is dead. Unions are dead. Try and see the bigger picture and position yourself to benefit.
