They will probably not shut down immediately, if at all. A Ch.11 filing would likely see the pilot contract tossed out, which would mean a downgrade from indentured servitude to outright slavery.
I see your point...just was thinking it would be a way to "stick it to the man"
You make an excellent case as to why this is risky. One question though...if Mesa can break the CBA, then why shouldn't the training contracts also be tossed? Obviously, if the CBA is tossed and QOL gets even worse for MAG pilots (not sure how, but lets say it can) then the terms of the original job offer that included the training contract have changed...shouldn't that void the training contract?
