HA! I would really like to see that.
"Well we are a bunch of crack business execs, but we couldn't take order of any of these new jets because the pilots were insistent that they be payed the same! We had put all of our chips on them taking cuts and we made absolutely no plans in the event they didn't. Too bad too, with only a $2hr cut short of profitability. I guess we're doomed, start filing for BK!" -said no SkyWest exec ever!
