I believe the last part of that. If all the rest is true, it'll cost the company a fortune in moving expenses. The next staffing bid reflecting hub basing will be effectively a global reset, displacing nearly all of the DECs from last year to the right seat. It may pour gas on the pilot exodus fire. Great news in theory for us senior FOs who got bypassed and are still waiting for our money and a shot at TPIC time, but overall it could be a disaster.
