And everyone realizes that we can't bring all of DCI back to mainline by the close of business 01-02-13 anyway.

The penalties for the latest 6 RAH jets they just signed onto they can eat out of their bonus checks, all 76 seaters turned into 70 seaters immediately (yay for capacity discipline!), a 20% 70 seater reduction per year after that and all agreement sunset after that. Somehow I don't think that will cost trillions in mafia loan paybacks like some seem to think.
