If you got the contract of your dreams, the flying would just shift to another group with lower cost. Personally I’d love to see the regionals leverage huge raises. That would erode the cost benefit of subbing out the flying and bring the flying back to mainline. I’m betting that neither of us get what we’d like to have.
