You know what I was talking about. Seriously though, the draw-down is already occurring and with about 10 aircraft already gone for the year, we're still raising the red-flag to cover flying. Not by any means time to hit the panic button.

I totally get that this company is not going where it should, but until they start offering leaves for line pilots, I'm not worried about much. I think there's a reason why United hasn't dished out a lot of their 70 seaters, and I think that reason is because we don't have our crap together yet. We have aircraft coming off lease, and we have PILOTS. Just wait, once we get a contract, we'll magically start getting 170s...

And by contract, I mean in no way, shape or form a concessionary deal.

And if we don't get a contract? Then United will dish out what they can, but will simply cut service to exclusively 50-seater routes. That's so far down the road though...

Prepare for the worst, hope for the best. I don't like what I see, but who knows what's going to happen.
