WE WERE NEVER GONNA BE ABLE TO STAFF THE MAX ORDERS...well we can now!
Not to mention the A/C we got from Southwest.
Problem is we continue to lag behind the competitors in the number of flights we currently offer and the majority of our pilots will be non qualified or in training due to the displacement when a significant rebound occurs. Doesn't appear SK is really too serious about being a legit player on the rebound. Then again, most of this is could be doom and gloom theatrics in hopes of gaining concessions. Which will it be?
