I personally fear the next 6 -12 months. Between the SLI and the loss of JFK and PBS. I fear the mass exodus of X-VX pilots at a rate that AK can't handle. Should the SLI go VX's way, I fear the mass exodus of AS pilots with the same result. Then there is the lost QAL for the X-VX pilots that will probably show up in large numbers of sick calls and parked airbuses. None of it good for business. None of it brought upon our selves. Management did this. If nothing else, I hope we can all remember that.
I agree with you that our operation may turn into a real s---show, but I don't think we'll see mass exoduses by either group. Those who had the means to have left... and there are those who are actively trying to leave. I'm not sure if anyone is waiting to see how the ISL turns out before they decide to pull the plug.
Those who have been here only 3-5 years and are still in their 30's, should be trying to punch out and go to a real airline.
In any case, those of us who are here for the long-haul should focus our energy on contract 2020.
