He might've been a bit harsh... But the ULCCs have found a niche market avoiding the hub & spoke system and its costs. Congrats on the business model - seriously. Now we find ourselves in a situation where the hub & spoke system s actually beneficial. How does that old saying go? Live by the sword, die by the sword?

BTW I don't mean "die by the sword" literally for your company. I think we ALL benefit if we keep our wages high and unions strong. Traditional thought is that any one of the big 4 in BK will put incredible downward pressure on everyone of us. Since you guys secured your recent contractual gains I think it's fair to include you in that group (as well as Alaska & Frontier). We all need to be rooting for each other!
