That's really the irony of the entire thing isnt it.

The ones that benefit the most are most likely out on medical/disability, they cost the most, have the most vacation and are the ones that most likely can afford to survive a bad economic turn unemployed. The ones this is the worst for it just the opposite of all of this. I personally dont see why this is getting any traction other than to slow the migration out of the regional model, a model which by all standards should be destroyed as it will benefit the pilots way more than a two year extension.
