mass exodus is not right
i don't think mass exodus explains accurately what is happening at Eastern.
Try this instead;
Imagine a zombie film where someone is running from a great many of those rabid, relentless but extremely professional zombies with a can do attitude, who want to catch and devour said person so that they can be cured from the horrific zombie affliction.
The person is called 'pilot jobs', the zombies are 'eastern airways flight crew' and the affliction is 'terms and conditions'.
Hope this makes things a bit clearer.
