Sounds like JetBlue is losing one pilot a day, Frontier is imploding, Allegiant can't keep pilots, Southwest pilots are seriously considering leaving and nobody is showing up to fly 747's for Atlas. This all happened in a few months time. Seems crazy. But I am also starting to feel like APC has turned into the Drudge Report for airline pilots.
