That's my opinion anyway, which is not shared by all and why it is not out of the question that this pilot group might actually allow the company to whipsaw them into concessions.
45 E175's at Skywest doesn't give AAG leverage. 15 there and 30 at Horizon makes all the marionette strings just the right length.
Most of AAG couldn't care less if QX or OO gets the flying. Your reading way too much into what's on the surface; the sociopaths making these decisions are going to get paid no matter what. You can tell yourself that they're transparent morons all you want but they don't have to be smart to screw us over.
