I’ve never worked at a large company able to react to events that quickly. The base closure had to have been worked on for months.
This sounds like tinfoil hat wearing pilot versus management conspiracy theory.

I used to think that in the interest of making money management wouldn't make stupid decisions, knowing what I know about this and other goings on it's clear I was wrong. This airline will figure things out one way or another and life will go on but the drama is so childish.
