That said, all the info I’ve gathered recently points to good things. The mechanics out west even tell me the first 2 jets are on property. I think we’re good, guys, for whatever that’s worth to you.
I, too, met him in a crew room and watched as he danced around the consolidation response. Say what you want about our leadership, but having a seat at the table with mainline, planning our future and weighing the difficult decisions ahead for DC...I'd choose a seat on our ship on our ship over the other carriers any day.
DG seemed like a tremendous guy, very empathetic and measured. Side note, I have seen an uptick in messages from him recently...not sure if that's an anomaly, but I like the direction we're heading.
