Look at the retirements also at United versus American.
I'm not saying who to choose because they are both great. However with American's retirement and all the widebodies coming it ain't to shabby of a place to be.
They haven't yet pulled any flying in house. In fact, in the last year, they did the exact opposite. Also, pulling flying back to the WO is not pulling flying in house. That would be growth in small narrow bodies to replace all the RJs, and they haven't done that either. Point stands.
