I’m Purple. I don’t find myself ever rooting against Brown. I have friends there. I find myself rooting hard for my ACMI bros to get a better deal from their Amazonian/company slave masters. With the cutthroat culture at AMZ, I don’t honestly know when that may happen.
As to the Chicken Little comments above for your buddies at Purple who are scared based on a quarterly report, I say more power to them. If they want to jump ship based on a speed bump, they will more than likely never get more than 5 years of seniority at any airline.
In the mid-2000s, Delta was a dirty dog that nobody wanted. Now it is the most profitable pax airline. Based on the sinusoidal wave of airline “success”, it’s likely that in 5 years, it will be another company.
It’s a crazy ride. I hope all of us end up where we want to be. I just wish I knew where that was.

I remember being at a legacy with a pension and a SWA pilot I was talking to was almost happy when we lost it! What!?!? We’re all in the same boat and we should wish the best for all of our brothers and sisters! Enjoy the roller coaster.

For the record - I’ve never heard of brown guys rooting against purple.
..and we too wish our acmi brothers and sisters the best.
You guys are just a little ahead of us; eventually we’ll separate our business from Amazon, like you just did, and eventually they’ll ban their third party sellers from shipping on us. Amazon is like China, everyone knows they lie and cheat and act like a monopoly ..but they’re too big to ignore.
