You'll get a good portion of it IMO, but not as much as you think.
Sure, a LOT of that future flying will be at our expense, but also yours. We'll both be shrinking if you ask me. Your attrition will not likely be from the top either as for the next few years at least, their will be no where to go for most senior who won't do any better then they are now.
BTW, we already are bonkers, but it may not present itself in a manner you expect. We have a lot of legal and strategic cards to play yet.
We will see, I hope no one loses any jobs. I am not a slop tosser at your guys, I stand behind you all. I dont wish any ill will at all, and am hoping you come out of this with the best possible outcome. I have to live in this mess alot longer than the guys at AA now.
There is bonkers now, and then there is true bonkers. Enough happens and true bonkers will happen IMO, I saw it at United in 2000. The fact is will happen naturally and gross root with noone to hold accountable is what will make it interesting. If that happens a USAIR deal is 99.99%.
What I want to see is if AMR will trickle all the terms of the 1113 mixed with the LBFO over 18 months, and you guys wont react to it to the level that will accomplish a goal.
