It's possible that some of their folks could have an ulterior motive, especially if you're a lifer with no other six-figure skill sets.
I voted yes last time, but if there were a next time I'd probably need to see some sort of independent analysis of the likely-hood of common-carrier and the ramifications before I decided.
They did a survey of XJT pilots like a year ago and 75% of them were looking to get out over the next 2 years. Very very few lifers. Nobody will be left to give a crap. Including myself, I'm already on my way out to a three letter gov agency. And I have a business / six figure skill set / real job in addition. I started this thread out of morbid curiosity. I have not yet seen the answer as to why.
