That is a true statement, but in MAG's case it has little to do with pilots..........it's USUALLY strictly business.

In MAG's case however, there may be an element of emotion since MAG is costing other carriers a lot of time and money (right or wrong). The damage done by the management team and their strategies has consequences and if there was a shortage of feed providers or their assets, then it might be different, but looking at the future with consolidation all but certain, it will be easy to weed out those that have previously left a bad taste in the mouths of 2 of 3 likely surviving legacies.

It seems an eventuality that DAL, UAL and AA will be the survivng brand names with U either having certain assets absorbed by AA or left to wallow until collapse. I suppose Lady MAG could peddle her charms to smaller LCC's but most have little need for her services as their models are different. It's a sobering reality for MAG and any legal victory is likely to have a short honeymoon as this lady has banged too many dudes to have garnered any trust or respect especially from those who've already sampled her charms..................they've been left with a painful case of the clap that's been expensive to treat.

Most will try another streetcorner after the infection clears.
