I'll take Kirby in a NY second over the that ego maniac - grossly incompetent Smisek. We have a good scope clause (industry's best) in our current contact. I agree it's going to be difficult negotiating against Kirby. But with solid union leadership, unified pilot group, industry profits and industry pattern bargaining, I think will fare well.

Rather have a well run very profitable airline with the very best hubs and network in the industry vs a poorly run airline squandering away its customer base and just barely keeping its head above the water.
