Then came the threat of amalgamation following the purchase of Southern Air. Many saw that as a sign to start putting out their apps. Others, myself included, sat on the fence watching and waiting to see if cooler heads prevailed in this competitive environment.
Following this last move by the company, many are off of the fence. After record resignations last year, attrition surged and we lost 34 pilots in January. I know of several just waiting for their class date. Pilots are departing and the numbers will probably increase. But to be honest, just about everyone would rather have a bird in hand than none before they resign.
On a positive note, pitchers and catchers report in 6 days! I'm looking forward to spring training!

Atlas Southern and a few others with Amazon seem to have the perfect ******* Storm brewing.
I simply lack the stomach for that much drama.
