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.

So, you're okay with perpetuating a broken business model that drives wages down with each company's subsequent negotiation.
Please stay at the regional level of the industry.
