Yeah, although with what, 14 billion in RJ's purchased at housing bubble peak prices, over bought and over committed, 2 billion for Comair plus another billion dollar strike and a slow write down to less than zero, 1.5 billion for ASA only to immediately flip them for 400 million, all the operational dis-synnergies inherent in a 7 or 8 stepchild conglomerate monstrosity, a self induced Pinnacle BK/bailout, the stain in our britches from the Mesa experiment and now GoJets, directly subsidizing Frontier and a mass transfer to Alaska (effectively writing down much of the value of a previous merger) wherein we supposedly don't share revenue for the segments they fly makes a pretty strong case for "there's no money in outsourcing".

And that's just domestic.

Or maybe the MBA Factories are spitting out grads on par with the legions of basket weaver majors with double minors in self esteem and feelings because when you look at the raw numbers of their little outsource experiment over the last decade and a half, not even Charlie Sheen would call it winning. Even David Hasslehoff eating the cheeseburger off the floor while his crying daughter taped him and put it on the internets would be like "daymn doods, that's sad."
