Be assured, I've seen failed airlines over the past three decades and I'm getting better at guessing which ones won't make it. Sure, it's a guessing game. If ACPA wants to see this LCC succeed it needs to protect its members by not letting them get involved. My rationale for such a brash suggestion? ACPA needs to strengthen itself not weaken itself. Trying to be all things to all members only serves to dilute what little strength (influence) it has left.
Remember. Unionized pilots at LCCs are like hens teeth. Rare.
That might be worth some discussion down at the ACPA union hall.
This move is nothing more than a stick of dynamite tossed into a log jam.
What's next?
If it has jet engines flying in Canada it has to be flown by an ACPA member?
