Neider told my upgrade group that he is about 90% certain that we will get the compass planes, but does not think we will get the base. He believes that skywest will get LAX. He also stated that he only anticipates growing the airline by about 150 next year. So current level plus 150.

I just don't think we're doing the hiring needed to open a base. Class 3 weeks ago had 17 people in it.
