So let me ask you this, why is Commutair opening Chicago and Houston bases? Because of how well things are going at XJT? Maybe because United is going to pay Commutair a few dollars more than XJT and up their signing bonus. Let the growth happen there since the XJT experiment has failed.
You really want to know why you guys have no leverage? Because you’ve already demonstrated you won’t leave. They don’t have to pay you anything. You won’t go anywhere. When the pilot group shrunk from 4,000 to 1,200 you were the ones that stayed. If you didn’t leave then you sure as fire won’t leave now. You’ve already shown your hand.
That is now the value you bring. The pilot group that we never have to pay.
