Just curious, assuming hiring at Alaska stopped for as you say up to several months and you guys lose say 15-20 newish hires per month to other airlines plus then sprinkle in some retirements, medical issues, losing the remaining airbus fleet and other pilots who become inactive for various reasons...then isn't Alaska going into shrinkage during a time of unprecedented growth potential?

Seems a bit worrying from an outsiders perspective (who turned down a job there and has nothing more than Alaska stock) that management truly has some enormous problems about to hit them, unless there is a merger of some kind which I keep hearing you guys mention.
