Tachi, hi there. I couldn't agree more with you. It's a tricky situation requiring a cool head. Play your cards wisely, just like poker. Remember the market is your favour. How about to wait and see. I don't think GF pilots will be left on the street jobless but will be some kinda take over deal sooner or later. I'd wait and talk to your bosses to get prepared to negotiate when it comes to that. You'll get the best deal by getting organized and structured negotiations. The worst deal in case of uncontrolled break out of panic. Just my thoughts.
Cheers.
