Yeah not a worry. That's what lawyers and union leaders worry about/deal with. Historically airlines grew substantial networks with M&A's. But you can't tell me that in the next 5-10 years EVERY airline can do the biggest hiring wave. Buy an airline for the pilots, the rest is either scrapped or brought in as extra icing on the top.
