And I'm sure that 50% will go wayyyy up in the next 5-10 yrs, possibly sooner. There is no way the majors will be able to be that picky when the retirements peak. I bet the big 6 will be no more competitive in the mid-late 2020's than Frontier is present day if I had to make an educated WAG.
No offense to Frontier of course!
