There was a lot of truth to that statement up through our CEO named Jeff. Things are very different under current management. Kirby has his downsides, but the guy knows his business and has made some brilliant moves that are probably going to slingshot us ahead of AA and DAL in most respects... because we ordered aircraft in bulk at the bottom of the trough. Meanwhile, AA/DAL will be waiting towards the back of the line for aircraft they probably had to pay more $$$ for. If you really want to be here, you need to get your app in yesterday to build some seniority/security.
