From a contract negotiations point of view, it's basically an indifferent thing until we know exactly what course the new guys plan to set in negotiations.
From a morale point of view, it's fantastic news!! We just demonstrated the power of this pilot group. I'm sure there were a lot of factors involved, including complaints from clients, but I have no doubt the heat this pilot group generated played a very large part in his departure. He was brought in for one very specific purpose: to bust the unions at Netjets. And he failed miserably at it. Not only aren't we demoralized with our tails between our legs as hoped, but there are twice as many unions on property than when he started. EPIC failure!
Whether we truly have something to celebrate remains to be seen. Personally, I think the fight will continue and heat up. WB isn't going to suddenly tell the new guys, "Oh what the heck. Give em a great contract!".
For now though, some excitement is in order.
