The average line pilot isn't the problem and as line pilots we really can't tell our management teams what to do. Both the pilot groups at Evergeen and Atlas are a great bunch of people. Both can and have proven that they can fly airplanes.
The way I see it; is that each pilot group wants to fly the airplanes and will defend their own pilot group.
Lets have a beer at the bar together and remember that we fly airplanes and really have no control of who has the contract or even why things happen.
Cheers!
