The junior folks in the end shall have the advantage as we won't be held hostage on a sinking ship.
We need another hub.
Slum,
Ya, the problem is the 170s are still flying on the branded side so I don't know how they are going to separate the Branded/FFD on the next quarterly report. As a result it may be 2 quarters before we have a chance to see the real numbers.
BTW Do you know when all the 170s are gone from branded flying?
Mark my words though, the IBT is going to scream murder when those numbers come out that BB is cooking the books as they try to continue contract negotiations for the 4 or 5 year.
