Yeah, agree completely. Just observing and talking to guys when we do bounces for landing currency.
RA has always been willing to pay for labor peace, even at NWA. I think he struck gold doing it here, because like I said, this place would have been a USAir style train wreck if we would have furloughed after the merger.
I was skeptical about the lack of fences after the SLI too. But, I also think it has done wonders to get us together quickly and moving forward. Add in positive IT initiatives to make the operation run smoother and we are set to kick some serious butt in the near future.
I wish we would grow because I think we are leaving money on the table around the world....for sure domestically with our current load factors. But, then again you need to be glad I ain't runn'en this place
