I’m feeling more confident than last time and generally agree. On the other hand, maybe Ted and gang think it’s worth it to keep payroll as low as possible even if that means taking a hit on the profit margins. Once it gets bad enough, whatever that metric is (obviously different than what our metric is) is when we get a pay raise. In the meantime, if a recession hits bad enough, or something else happens that alleviates the pilot supply issues then it will have been a worthy gamble.
