Anyone have any insight on the effects this will have for the different pilot entities?

As yet, indetermined, but there are many at ATA that want to push for one list. DOH with fences as there are many captains as WOA and NA that would be junior to many FO's at ATA.

The new holding company, Global Aero Logistics, formerly New ATA Holdings, says that they want to keep the companies separate.
