Remember in 2014 #3 corporate goal was cheapest DCI. When that nearly shut down the company they paid us more and erased that for 2015.
Look, at Endeavor, everything is flexible, except we can't shut down. We've never hit our advertised hiring goal and the company still hasn't budged from the 3k hiring bonus. That may mean Delta/Endeavor identified the bonus expiration as the problem. More likely, since the gojets and republic aircraft never came we never needed it.
They'll grow us until they shrink us, they'll give us more airplanes like 50 seaters so we're ready to turn them all in for a different type and spool up quickly. We're expensive pawns. Enjoy it.
