Thanks for the kind words, sweettails. Sure, everyone at RAH is pretty bummed, but most everyone understands that F9 needs to do whatever it thinks will help them get through the rough times ahead. The RAH flying wasn't really going to help the company get out of bankruptcy, and if F9 needs to cut capacity they'd damn well better drop the RJ drivers before they hurt the mainline guys. Sucks for us, but any pilot with an ounce of foresight can see that it's better to cut the regional carrier if it means a better future for the real airline - after all, those are the jobs we're all after, right? BB's lawsuit is legal boilerplate - It'd be tough to wring a lot of cash out of a Ch.11 carrier for terminating a contract. Nobody knows where our orphan planes are going now, but I'd be shocked if the higher-ups around here hadn't planned on this in the near future. But hey, we just picked up a Charlotte to Montreal route! So I got that goin' for me. Which is nice.
