Decisions and actions are slow and deliberate here. Much like the new crew room in ORD that will fit more than 20 people at a time, we've been waiting since October. Actions could have been taken to keep the pilot group closer to 700, but they waited to announce the UA deal after we had lost so many.

We only have value as a good pilot group well versed on 65 marginally operational aircraft no one wants, don't hold your breath.

Its sad to see an old ship run itself aground when all you can do is swab the deck to save it.
