This of course should be great concern to all of us, since you can see how it would just bounce back and forth between regionals so the new contractor could have lower costs due to lower paid employees(year 1 pay).

That said, I haven't been saying too much on here lately, because I've been trying to keep my mouth shut on whats going on. Saab has a very good idea, more so than I do, but I think he is trying to tell all of you something: It's probably best to tone it down. Remember the whole year and a half upgrade at RAH? That died down quick, Frontier, CAL and possible American reductions. This industry is changing so rapidly every day, it's best to sit back and just do our job, fly.
