Agree 100% here. Take the recent Skywest/XJT/ASA meeting where they discussed merging their pilot groups. Jeff earned his wings under Bethune and probably took note of an all Boeing fleet along with only having to deal with a single feed carrier for many of CALs best years.

We had a system CP mention parking all the Airbus by 2020. In addition there are various manufacturers (Bombardier, Mitsubishi, etc.) investing lots of capital into churning out 100 seat RJs (Skywest just happened too place a large order for 100).

I must tip my cap too our brothers at AMR on this labor day weekend, it's refreshing to see labor surprise management and disrupt their plans for a while.

Happy Labor Day
