As I said, I see a difference between the guy that's just looking for a paycheck until his first airline calls him back and a guy who genuinely wants to be here now or that had FedEx as his first choice all along. The first guy is going to bail on FedEx when the grass turns back to green at his first airline while the other guy will probably be happier here and stay no matter what because he wouldn't have put us at the top of his list to start with without recognizing the value we're all experiencing yet again within 20 year of the last sh!t storm.
