Your point is valid, but doesn't adress my original post. I didn't say it would fix itself. I said that I think there is a legitimate shot at fixing it, because I think there is more leverage than usual. The price of oil, the need for pilots, the fact that we're at our maximum number of large RJ's, and the fact that most of us have seen the damage and get the picture (partly because large-gauge scope ensures scope is now on everyone's radar).
I know that we've seen, in the past, effort to rationalize our stand (or lack thereof) on the issue, and maybe that's what you're adressing. I've been on the receiving end of the sell-job for C2K also, and don't buy it any more than you do.
