I hope you're right and they take the airline in a new direction with us flying the larger next-gen RJ's (and whatever else is on the horizon). But as always, I remain skeptronic. Time will tell.
Hey I could certainly be wrong certainly wouldn’t be the first time! One of the reasons we trail AA and DAL is that domestic today is the most profitable flying and our approximately 200 mainline narrowbody deficit vs AA and DAL is a big reason why we lag them in profits. Our labor costs - especially pilots are very much in line with them.
