More likely we'll see them continue to be flown to outsourced 70-76 seaters more profitably (or maybe not, but a workforce they can continuously whipsaw against each other).

Just like AK, perhaps it's even profitable for the corporation. The problem is we are not doing the flying, and no amount of profit sharing will make up for the stagnated career progression.


Management is driving, ALPA in the back seat, line pilots watching......
