I thought as much regarding the slot swap. If it were net growth like it was hyped to be, we wouldn't be able to shrink without hiring like we're doing. Instead a bunch of employees wrote their congressmen just so that we could shift some flying around and close another base while we keep shrinking. Isn't that our new ad campaign? Keep Shrinking? If I was an ace at photoshop I'd be all over that.
Anyway one difference between us and Comair though. We have major scope issues to be sure, but we have scope. If we don't make significant progress towards fixing our scope as the highest priority in C2012 then shame on us. All Comair has is Comair scope. Our scope is much broader and more powerful. We just have to start using it to reverse the outsourcing abuses.
