Whether or not someone on the East Coast knows where I fly will not change this. It’s up to the folks in marketing to fix that, not the pilots. You speak of Delta in the South Satellite, remember United in the North? Now it’s all AS jets. We’re still 51% market share in SEA and Delta is a distance second. I think guys n gals are worrying about things they really don’t need to be worried about. OCCP, I think investments in buildings means they plan on growth otherwise why do it? I don’t know your experience but I assume you’ve seen this industry at both ends of the spectrum and know that worrying about things like marketing and what may or may not happen in HI is an exercise in futility. Let the process unfold.
I'll vote to walk before I take a concession. If nothing else JCBA had taught us to NEVER accept a **** sandwich. It can haunt you for years.
