Dunno. Interesting proposition for sure.
Only it would not be a year or 2. More like 6 or 8 or 10. Because after they get what they want, why renegotiate anything else? Low-balling ourselves only prolongs the regional hell we are trapped in. We need to tell them to visit Willis Tower and make sure to bring back a big bag of money. That reaches the end game more swiftly than begging for cpa. Force UNITED to make the decision on how to handle this (tight pilot supply, do you want your airplanes to move or not?) because right now they think they can make Skywest handle it for them. Skywest is United middle management, whether we see this or not will determine how successful we are. We could be quite successful if we care to see the truth.
