So we've gained 90 pilots and although we turned down that crappy TA, in the short term we're staying tremendously cheaper that Eagle. This sets us up perfectly to get more American flying IMO. Don't think for a second this company won't aggressively pursue new flying, not to improve upgrade times, but to increase revenue and of course profits, the bread and butter of a higher stock price.

The "we're going to furlough rumor!" doesn't help it hurts, because it fosters and spreads fear amongst our pilot group. The type of fear that allows management to bust unions, manipulate feelings and push through crappy TA's that accelerate the race to the bottom.
