And if you think every airline CEO is the same when it comes to pay, not even close. I can guarantee you a Barry Biffle/Bill Franke is not equal to an Ed Bastain or a Scott Kirby when how they view their pilot labor. But he glad, you have a CEO is is more in line with the latter group and not the former; I’m glad to have him as the CEO after Ted goes.
Both sides have a ways to go in the JCBA.
Cant wait until we are a big happy family and I’m enjoying that free WiFi and delicious meals.

In that case is American not a legacy? They just put their rates at where UA and DLs were. I am definitely grateful to AA UL DL and AL for going first and setting expectations and doing a lot of the heavy lifting to make it easier for us, but c'mon lets not act like the journey to the rates is more important than the destination.
