No Midwest equals no growth for the forseeable future. No 'big grievance' victory means continued crap schedules and status quo pay. That will likely be the last straw for people on the fence after having family lives strained by commuting and not having any time at home.

Captains of all flavors will leave for greener pastures (frax, corporate, CAL/JBU/SWA/UPS/FDX/FNT/etc). A couple very junior FOs may make lateral moves to other regionals (stupid IMO) and a few senior FOs may leave for frax operators or corporate gigs, or maybe places like FNT or CAL that don't require PIC time. A few in either seat might quit aviation altogether.

Depending on what happens the next couple months, rapid attrition will be the loudest, most noticed vote of no confidence in the future of this company. That said, I remain optimistic...
