If we weren't, everyone would get to their preferred base, with a good schedule and the tone here would be much different.
I understand we are not an airline but we proved for a million consecutive quarters to be very successful at flying people around, even with high fuel prices and inefficient planes. Why not taking advantage of a hot market? The transition is over, if there was a plan we'd have interviews and new hire classes scheduled months ago. I personally see the potential of a great career here, with the perfect balance of work and time spent with my family. But man oh man things at the bottom look very different, and not seeing a light at the end of the tunnel is pretty frustrating. Especially when there should be a very bright one.
