I don’t see it as a recruiting tool at all. If they wanted a true recruiting tool they’d do priority and check in the way American does it. However, in our new contract they are now giving positive space on our second flight if we’re unable to get on the first one. Same as Delta, I believe? Just maybe this will alleviate some of this and revenue passengers won’t be affected as much. So you’re right, Delta isn’t doing this out of the goodness of their hearts. They’re just trying to take care of their customers the best way they can.
