Just how I feel about it looking around now and thinking back to past slow downs. It will sure be an interesting time ahead of us all. Hopefully I’m very wrong.
My personal thought for a long time is that PSA and Piedmont will end up combined. Several reasons. Granted, I don’t know anything about the specifics, but they were both US Air cultured feed. They already share some common mx locations. But the big reason is relative size. I think AAG will want to keep the two WOs to play the whipsaw and PSA and Piedmont together are closer in size to the ‘Voy than than any other combination being equally sized.
Of course, with flying at only 10%, it would be very easy for AAG to cut ANY of its feed to what they want. There is already a big axe poised to fall. They just have to decide where to or if they put a tourniquet to stop the bleeding when they start hacking. But I do believe the blood and pain are yet to come.
