You left out the part about those who are always willing to work for less, each and every time something rolls out of Rosemont.
Interesting that you mentioned that about PAX preferring the bus, bc I would agree, except that the company just said that the MAX is their highest scoring in their handy-dandy surveys. If you’re into that sort of thing.
But this is a very complicated case, Maude. You know, a lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta “what-have-yous.”
This whole business... strikes and gutters, ups and downs...
