The one thing I've been hearing since my furlough return is "heavy lift." I hadn't heard this term before but by the time we left our 5 day indoc we had heard this from every dept that came to talk to us inc. RA himself. This was their biggest concern. Mngt did mention AS but it was always the "milk for free" speech. They did say they wouldn't let anyone else have AS, but had no intention of acquiring them anytime soon. RA doesn't seem to let things just lay down......I think this is one large game of Chess for him. Changing after each move. W/ the AA bk he makes another move. The Hawaiian merger sounds like it could be the current plan, especially w/ the 717 addition - that's a 100% common fleet. Hmmmmm......
