I work on the SkyWest side, and I don't understand it either. When you look at how god awful our reserve is, low pay, and the training has really deteriorated?
And then you have the prize of LGA, I hear 7-8 guys are living in a small 2 bedroom apartment in Queens. What a prize right there!
Don't forget, historical credit or better baby!
