Also, they have 151 firm orders of new aircraft 2018 through 2025.... RIGHT NOW.... we’ve pushed the latest “fleet plan” to 1st Quarter of 2020..... which is always subject to change, and even then, we’ll be at the back of the line. AND they’re doing DOMESTIC service with those current A/C. They haven’t even started transatlantic service yet.

We ARE, however pulling out of Love field,... no wait.... we’re expanding service into Love.... no wait... pulling out.... hang on... maybe cutting. [emoji15]



Also, they have a scope clause, and paid redeye override, (($13/hr), min 4hrs/day for training, 100% pay and credit for DH, 5 hrs pay/day vacation, 10 HR RAPs, 2:30 short call time, 14 hour long call time, 30-35 cents more per diem/hr, etc. Yep.... identical twins. [emoji3166]
