In fact, all the Comair guys hired in that time have upgraded that want to.
From the activity I'm seeing and have heard about, I'd say we're getting at least 10 airplanes for somebody, probably American and maybe United as well starting in July. We'll hear something in the next couple of weeks.
So if you are looking for a decent contract and a quick upgrade, you 'd be nuts not to look at TSA.
I guess you must be a newbie. TSA has furloughed and downgraded several times in recent history. I hope your optimism proves correct, but saying they do not have a history of overstaffing is a false statement.
