This is going to get messy. Fact of the matter is, amico or not, in history airlines in this position tend to do what they like regardless, speak to ex air Atlanta guys.....(before I get shot down, I understand it's a different country, which there for has different labour laws) in a senario like this, they aim to reduce costs as much as possible. If I was one of the high earning senior pilots, I would be weary, only advice, get alpa on standby, although not going to help much, it's some help! From what I understand, it's the whole company, right from the bottom to the top.
