I still can't see us running airbuses. What happened to the single fleet concept that they were preaching years ago? It's a big reason why we're making money right now. Now it's completely out the window?? It wouldn't surprise me if they parked the 6 jets that VA actually owns and somehow negotiate the return of the leased jets.
I think it's a little early to start freaking out about what's going to happen. The Airbus is a good plane. It's not the MD-80. It could work. Let the process begin. It does not matter what the #1 VX guy wants. It's up to the merger committees and the lawyers and the arbitrators.
It's out of our control right now. Relax we are along for the ride. I learned a long time ago there are no guarantees or fairness in this business.
