BTW…It’s Friday…. Where’s that BIG ANOUNCEMNET!? I been waiting ever Friday for 20 years.
wrong. First about the aircraft, which hulas leases, he does not own them. It makes perfect sense to simply allow the TSA contracts (which have always been tied to leases) to expire and add 50 seaters to gojet, which can be aquired for fire sale rates due to the economy right now.

You're also wrong about the pilot ratings, which can be taken care of in two days of differences training. Viola, now you have a new less senior airline with a weaker union (if that's even possible) that has a much better relationship with management, rather than the bitter group at TSA. I think it's despicable, but if you look at it from a perspective of not giving a rats *** about employees, it all falls into place.
