Just speculation, but:

Transition classes cx thru may isn’t great news, but not “bad news.”

Delta need us flying that side to the end, and we actually got some new hires we need to get thru the two sims we have left. Guys going for the early transition won’t have a chance to forfeit their 20k bonus and will have to stay till the flush bid.

...and Chicago will go to AW (closes ORD base for XJT). Just reading the cards in the press releases in front of me. It’s just ironic that we would take the hit in ORD since Republic and Mesa have been involved in the latest press-related shenanigans.
