While the costs will be high to take these old birds into the future it could be worth it (Think Delta and MD-90s and a better mainline fleet plan). Having the regionals suffering like they are is helping as well and is why our block hours are wanting to grow. And yes, we need to have one 756 pilots and no segmented groups. Synergies still not captured.
