I couldn't agree more, unless there is something else in the works that we don't know about yet. One thing that I did notice about this announcement, is that it came out of a SEC filing that Skywest did. It took our company a little bit to announce it afterwards. I'm not saying there is, or giving the company credit, but just stating that there may be something more that's not finalized yet.
I did hear that from G.W., he said they are still strongly considering the FO pay raises and other retention ideas. I've expressed to management over and over again, that the longer they wait, the deeper hole they will need to dig out of. It may come to a point to where the hole starts to fill with water and we can never recover. I personally have given the company up until the end of Feb to make an announcement before I explore making a lateral move, or going somewhere else.
