They are building up the WO's so they have leverage with companies like RAH that will have trouble staffing at $40/HR and will have to renegotiate CPA's again.

Home based in EWR. Can't say I agree that the new contract was the cause of bankruptcy. If it were, it would have been slashed. And there were dozens of 145s parked but being paid for at a cost much greater than our pay raise. Those are gone, as well as everything associated with operating a second aircraft. RAH is much leaner than before. Cancellations are way down.
