However, realistically, it may be 3 years before I an hold -900 CA in MEM because of the quotas. But a -900 MEM CA could bid DTW or JFK -200 CA no problem.....
Probably be easier without the fences? Of course it would be easier, I said this at the beginning, we think too highly of ourselves. We work at a crappy Regional airline with crappy work rules. Why did we need fences? We don't fly 747s, we fly 34 seat turbo props and 50/76 seat jets. If your merger committee would have take the DOH deal XJ proposed without fences wouldn't we ALL be in a better spot? Anyway, I don't think the fences matter as much as people think, this place will not exist in 5 years.
