So if you're older I can understand the negativity and skepticism towards management. But if you're truly following the industry from a macro level and listening to the investor calls you can clearly see that we finally have airline guys running airlines. People that are just as passionate as pilots. This is a + for us. Your head is buried in the sand if you think otherwise. Just look at the 2 years during the pandemic. American furloughed...we did not. Gets old listening to some of these old guys ***** and complain, and the last time they actually dug into financials or listened to a investor call was 20 years ago.

The aircraft our growth. Besides the handful of old Buses and 757s. Kirby has pounding the ground with same statements since he got here. We did not utilize our network. We can be the largest US airline. We have the best hubs. I could care less about what people think of him on a personal level. Just do the job and make $$$$$ so we can benefit and future pilots can benefit.
