I'd assume they could care less and are laughing.

ACMI seems to not look at any data on how many thousands of much better jobs are out there.
What's the long term plan to attract and retain? My guess is they don't have on other than Jr man, and try to run from the industry truth as long as possible.
Pilots these days have a ton of options and word spreads fast of what places take care of their pilots.
Management through fear, intimidation, and an outright disrespect for the union is a recipe for failure. They haven't even felt the heat yet of the majors hiring and 40% have quit, classes get pushed and unfilled.
The business can't succeed without pilots. I suspect the investment community will catch wind of the unfilled classes.
