In the future as I understand it these pilots could Unionize under US labor law as they are based in the US. This was one of the main reasons Cathay Pacific discontinued much of their cargo expansion in the US and used Canadian bases instead. It might be a good chance to get in on the ground floor if it ever goes seniority based. Any new company will have issues in the beginning but 20 years later can be drastically different. You have to look no further than FedEX, Southwest, UPS and others to see how things can change and get better with time. All you can do is make an educated guess at who will be the long standing survivor and winner. My bet is on LCCs and nothing is stopping Jet Blue, Spirit, Southwest or Alaska group from jumping into these North Atlantic markets using a similar LCC model.
