I'm LUAL and it's on both sides. There are some LCAL and LUAL pilots who will be miserable over the merger until the day they die. And like it or not, this was the best course of action for our two companies. It was a good fit.
I'd be happier if smallsac hadn't closed SEA; that was a bonehead move. And it'd be nice to see us get a FL hub. Other than those two items, we've got a solid route structure.
