Again, those airplanes will be fenced, the only group IV airplanes the west would be able to bid into for a number of years would the aircraft usairways brings, no American positions would be touched. I am glad you bring up pay and total compensation as a factor. Every group 2 phx pilot has out earned and had vastly better benefits than the east pilots flying the same aircraft, should the arbitrators take that in consideration guess what they end up with?
