You think that having four different airlines being whipsawed by AA is good? Or Mesa and Freedom being whipsawed against each other as good? Or Republic, CHQ, and Shuttle America being whipsawed as good? I guess TSA, Gojet, and Compass are better off. Yeah, those who combined pilot lists had to sacrifice in order to do it. But we are all better off for it. If you don't believe that then you are the moron. Now, don't confuse what I said as saying that everything is all rosy at all those places.
