if mamma D wants those planes elsewhere now, that would take time. Lots and lots of time. And money. It's not a quick and easy thing to do to bring on a bunch of airplanes, develop a training program, and and send through initial 5 or 600 pilots.
Compass has all of that already in place. I'm sure if we merged people would blast out of here. A lot even, but they'd not even come close to having to hire and train a whole new Cadre of crews.
