There's no way they could get cheaper. Work Rules suck and healthcare if crazy high. No way he could make you guys cheaper.
I remember a guy I was flying with that left Piedmont. He told me that he had to get out of Piedmont because he was embarrassed telling people what kinda of plane he flew.
I just said, "What's more important, telling someone the plane you fly or telling someone how much money you make?"
He's still an FO at RAH and could've been a Captain at PDT now and be in a much better position in terms of his career and definitely when it comes to money in his pocket.
Oh well
