Things definitely look bad. It all hinges on scope. It's possible Flynn is stepping aside now in order to keep his reputation intact while Deitrich gets to wear whatever mud is coming from customers pulling business, etc.

Another possibility is that this is a way to drive us to an easier bargain with Flynn prior to dealing with Dietrich. If that's the play it could be a really effective good-cop/bad-cop game to play on the union. With Flynn stepping into a position as chairman of the board, I believe we're seeing the latter at play.

Regardless of what the facts are or the accuracy of anyone's speculation, panic gets us nowhere. There are a lot of factors at play, and all the forces arrayed agains the pilot group depend on us going weak at the knees in the face of bad news. I'm not a "burn this place down!" type of guy. We have to preserve and grow the business for everyone's sake. However, now is not the time for us to run for the hills and panic either. If there's a time for resolve, it's now. Don't budge. Fight.
