Why is there a discussion on another airline possibly taking concessions when our own ship is veering off course? What's ironic is that last sentence describes us right now. Pilots will never cease to amaze me. Market forces always have two very different directions and apply to everyone. I hope our new John Wayne MEC knows what they're doing.
