Right.....and part of that agreement was the displacement protection. Why do you think ERJ had a system bid that upgraded about 90 people? Considering the previous bids were along the lines of 6 or so upgrades and happened once or twice a year.....I’d say the displacement protection and excessive upgrades was our slice of the pie, and the lopsided integration was ASA’s slice of the pie. I guess y’all think you should eat the whole pie. FWIW....we didn’t ask to be bought by SkyWest, either. As to your other point, you didn’t ask to buy a BK ExpressJet because YOU didn’t buy it. Your daddy, SkyWest, bought it. I don’t see how a BK XJT caused your Delta performance to be so awful that they cancelled your contract, but I’m sure you see it that way. We all need to stop the blame and quit trying to step over each other. As vacancies are created, we all expect to never move up the list because ASA guys will take those spots. I’m fine with that. I would also be fine with a 1-to-1 integration and let the displacements fall as they will. You shouldn’t get to have both. IMHO
