I just think it's funny that some think that a CEO who did everything he could to **** off his pilot group, now all of a sudden doesn't want to do anything to upset them? This is a guy who told his pilots to save their coffee money so they didn't need a raise. Now he is going to be the one that goes to bat that they can't take a paycut??

I agree that any modification to the pilot contract will be the final nail in the coffin, but the fact is that BB waited too long to do the right thing. Their profit was inflated by getting cancel pay from their partners and keeping the money from their pilots. So now they dump the unprofitable flying and focus on the 175 contracts. Okay great. But BB has still shown that he is an inept CEO and even with only flying the 175, will find a way to line his pockets while preaching financial frugality to his minions. His lack of ethics will come around and I hope that the judge approves whatever plan to reorganize with the condition that he is not at the helm.
