Pilots get misinformation from recruiters, and we can rememeber some bizarre compensation numbers that were passed out not long ago. Pilots also get misinformed by individuals who think they are helping our cause by trying to scare off potential hires.

Cutting through the crud, you are guaranteed to make more money at Amerijet. That's a fact in the short (2-3 year) term.
To be fair, chances of Amerijet buying someone and amalgamating their contract is very small. I think Atlas has been the only one ever to use that clause. We might have some trauma over it, but I don't see that being a huge issue.
