I'm really interested in AE because they will let me choose my base (really want ORD). Not too worried about upgrade time. What does it mean to the pilots if AE is going to be "shrunk" or "sold" Do we still have job security?? etc.... I'm just getting done working aerial survey (1000TT 65ME by the time i'm done) so i'm not too keen on the airline life yet. any advise?
