HyFly,
Consider another prospective
Atlas gets rid of AABO.
Junior Captains/ Senior FOs keep their position/upgrade to the left seat.
Furlough junior FOs, are kept on property.
That brings the overall cost of wages down, as compared to paying senior mainline FOs AND AABO Captains.
The Union finds the leverage that it needs to represent the combined Atlas/Polar workforce.
And if your replay is that you have worked for Atlas for X amount of years, look back how much that is cost to the mainline guys in delayed upgrades and Furloughs. AABO getting canned might not be fair, just like what AABO did was not.
I try to use this forum for an open discussion, but I am not going to be mocked by you 2 months before my last paycheck.
