It's a rough estimate, but at least its something. I think its better than being left completely in the dark.

The last thing I would do is take you on over something like this. We would just go get some beers and pretty soon you would understand
. I am never against the pilots, but mngmt is crazy if they think someone is going to believe that BS bid. How can they upgrade 500 CA's on the jet by next year if we haven't even won any flying.
Mind you those CRJ's aren't even on property yet and the way things are going they will never make it. The extra 6 ERJ's will be offset by the 8 they will be taking away from us next year.
I guess the only way any of their estimates would even come close would be if they sent half of us to China at the end of the year. I don't know about you but JO won't be sending me to Asia in this life. If I wanted to go to China I would apply at Cathay not Mesa.
