Tank - I read your replies and you’re making some valid points. However, every single one of those points can be applied to other cities/countries we’re currently flying to.
People who worry about the issues you raised shouldn’t bid international. If that’s all they can hold then maybe they should look into swa or other domestic carriers? I mean it sincerely - we ARE an international carrier and we will always fly to places some find dangerous.
Frankly, I can’t believe I’m having a debate here with another IPA’er over whether we should be flying those extra trips or not? EB fought a hard, multi-year long battle to win those flights back. I trust my EB and I am super stoked my union brothers and sisters will get to fly them. I hope one day the whale will go there too.
