There's really no telling what kind of creative screw ups we have yet to see. We're talking about a management group with a scorched earth mentality.
Remember back in 08 when BB said he hoped pilots would make a career here when the last hiring boom was thinning the ranks? I think the exact quote was "I hope our seasoned pilots choose to keep their careers at republic".
