There's about 15 regional airlines out there. I didn't count Great Lakes. If you can only name 4 who have better pay than PSA what exactly is the issue?

I hate that AAG put us in the position to take concessions but we are still in the top 5ish, so top 30% of our industry section even after taking concessions. People lose things all the time to better their long term position. AAG gave up slots in DCA and JFK, professional sports teams give up top players for prospects.

Our vote obviously didn't effect or influence other votes since 3 other airlines voted no even after PSA voted yes. In fact, I'd wager that if we had voted no things would've turned out differently. We are much smaller than eagle. If we had voted no AAG could've immediately started a drawdown. We only have 47 acft. If that had happened it would've put a lot more teeth behind AAG's threat to shut Eagle down as well. Something to think about.
