So, patience and resolve are the orders of the day.
That being said, those two qualities are not welded together. Resolve is not wavering, but patience could wane should the can be kicked too long and too far down the road.
Why aren't we going on the offensive? Insler should be on CNBC, Facebook, Twitter, etc... describing what the pilots of United have sacrificed over the years! Instead, we wait around until the next downturn, throw our hands up in the air and say "oh well, I guess we have to cave on scope"
