Think this is hyperbole & that it wouldn’t happen? Atlas just celebrated its 25th anniversary - the pilots have been able to vote ONCE during that entire quarter century. Amalgamation equates directly to a terrible, subterranean-level contract because it removes virtually all the pilot group’s leverage and control over the outcome. Except of course for the leverage of people avoiding coming here in the first place & the ever growing tidal wave of attrition due to the toxicity, ineptitude & broken promises that have squandered all the tremendous potential that this place once held.
