I agree with that, because they will need a ton of flexibility.
I always said, that the first few years would lead to some interesting results. If we can get to the end of 2011 with no furloughs. I think we will do quite well.
I know we need to press the weight certification issue with the RAH jets. That is a must. Add to that, we need to keep all remaining flying and recapture what we can. Adding pilots to this group will make us stronger in the contracts to come.
