Great point that's often overlooked. But even still, I'd much rather wind the watch and sit on what we have for years if necessary than to sell concessions all through the contract for 9/6/4/4 with reduced/monetized PS, more large RJ's, more blank ckecks for AS in SEA, longer training freezes and work rule "productivity" hits that require fewer pilots. No thanks, I'd rather stick with current book for years than fall for that.
