Short term this appears to be some growth potential. However there is plenty of time between now and when they actually start showing up in significant numbers to make it a staffing neutral or negative refleeting decision. The trend is pull down direct destinations and shuttle to JV hubs. While all eyes are on the Whale, I'd be more concerned with the long term plans for the ER. If we keep moving towards JV hub feed, we can fly a lot more people with a lot fewer pilots by using bigger planes.
