In fact, this horror show will be so fascinating, I think I'll be able to cancel my cable and watch it full-time.
Yeah, it kind of surprises me in a way too. But when you look at the caliber of people the airlines have been having to hire in the last few years, I guess it shouldn't. I even kind of felt bad when we (Eagle) took our ten airplanes back from TSA and caused them to furlough, and those were ours to begin with.
We've been proud to fly around with our actual company name painted on the plane and not in a little "operated by" note on the door. I guess we might as well forget about that and just revel in joining the rest of the subcontractor industry and start hoping to grab anybodies flying we can.
