Morning PAOT,
So this is certainly a new idea. Very interesting. But why "panic is driving this one". What is going on that would produce panic? We are steadily grinding away, making money hand over fist. I would imagine that Kootch is as happy as a high tide clam. But you say panic? You say that they were blundering around the halls with a faraway stare in their eyes the other day?
I can't imagine that they really give two snoots about pilot attrition as long as the metal keeps moving. It's just the cost of doing business (cheaply). Heck, we lost something like 300 pilots this year and they hardly blinked. So maybe that leaves some kind of hostile takeover or merger where they are all out on the street before they are ready? I think that would certainly produce panic in this latte sipping batch of "leaders". But panic??? It's fine with me if they want to explore multiple small bases, after ALPA makes sure all is proper of course, but panic??? I don't get it.
