LAX base doesn't open until Dec 1 but is so small it can't really absorb that much of the excess pilots in ATL. I predict that in Nov to Jan you will see 700 pilots displaced to the 200. If a contract get signed that all might change.
It is obvious that this is a Jerry (Lorenzo) Atkins ploy to try and break the union or have us get such a crappy contract that the SW pilots won't see a reason for bringing ALPA on property. Meanwhile, as the fight rages on, we are stagnant and quite frankly coming apart at the seems.
Sorry to give false hope, I was wrong. Again.
