What are the chances of that? If their costs are significantly higher than ours, that goal won't succeed and then we're likely to pick up some of the fallout - as unpleasant as it is to think of picking up extra work on the backs of our colleagues.

There have been people here who have scoured SEC filings etc. to guess at some of that info. Does anyone have any new insights? Esp. into our costs versus RAH? Payscales are pretty similar - the 10% difference in new hire FO pay is immaterial, they're cheap Captains are about 6%. Any ideas on longevity, lifers, etc.?
