Probably just do what they need and get them merged, then you have multiple bases with PLENTY of pilots. backfilling is starting with hiring and we will likely see 60+ in every base.

They do, probably shrink them a little bit and trade or move/buy gates in other domiciles. I know ATL is big for both as well. We get all the gates in LGA. ORD/MDW. it would be interesting to see how it will work with routes and the frequency we could offer which would cater towards that more business esque market BB so often talks about.
