****ing matches may suck, but remember, they need our jumpseats a lot more that we need theirs. Though it may be trickier (double legs, etc), we still have the entire UAX network with which to commute. UAX pretty much blankets the country now. We have far more backups if we have trouble with mainline jumpseats.....oh, wait, we already have issues.
Once the old senior guys have trouble with DAY/SBN/GRR/AZO/GRM/DSM - Chicago, I guarantee you UALPA hopefully will get her head out of her @$$ and come to some sense.
