2. You just made my point. Kirby loves to utilize regionals as I mentioned, which is why AWAC got that contract. He hates giving regional pilots anything though.

3. I’d say go to many places over AWAC. I suggested any AA wholly owned and would even suggest Endeavor over AWAC.

4. This isn’t possibly for so many airlines. Where are these independent carriers going to get the money from? They are receiving money from only the flying they bid on. There’s no one behind them with deep pockets like AA or Delta. You can only raise pay so much before you have to start asking for more on the flying you’re doing, and risk not winning any flying at all because a Mesa or someone comes in and underbids you for it. You may see a couple dollars added to pay rates, but I don’t see very many being able to match Endeavor type rates and beyond.
