Nope. They have nothing. Absolutely nothing. They have no planes, no routes, no gates, nothing of value to anyone other than their place as yet another low cost whipsaw provider/sharecropper that could be replaced very quickly and no one would notice.

This wasn't about our moral committment to our customers, this was about our financial committment to over paying and over ordering so many RJ's and setting up an epic fail system where we buy planes and gas and rent crews for 100% fake phony non existant airlines to fly for us and then being stuck holding the bag with no where to put them.

But Shirley if we get creative with our scope we can one day hire again. We're not really gutting scope see, we're just tinkering with the "production balances" and this is actually an improvement for you guys! Besides we have soooooo many 50 seaters and we really need your help getting out of them! Oh won't you help us in our hour of need dear pilot group and sign off on more DC-9-10 replacement jets to be flown at more fake airlines?
