True that. Notice GK did the same thing during the SWA seniority grab of Airtran. Everybody (both pilot groups) were drinking the "we are about to grow like crazy" koolaid. GK was dropping this info left and right to get everybody excited. Now that the deal is approved the tune has quickly changed. It's just one of a bunch of tools management uses to get the deal done. All I have to say is....

GET IT IN WRITING (and have attorneys outside of ALPA check the small print).
