Sure we might sucker a couple pilots from out west with ORD. I'm sure most of those pilots are already looking at Skywest and GoJet for $37 an our. If you're going to commute you might as well get paid 50% more.
I know, who am I to question our great leaders? If they think a Midwest base will bring manna from heaven, then it will. Just like flow, the cadet program, our industry trailing signing bonus, etc. All brilliant fool proof plans.
