The "seniors" certainly have every right to be here and then some, and they have been through a lot, but from a financial perspective they are making the airline very top heavy. Their salaries are not even that much either but when we are supposedly competing with very junior based company (i.e. Mesa) it hurts our competitive edge. It is also very bad kool-aide and definitely not the only reason we are suffering right now. Contracts (not ours) seem to have a lot to do with that right now.
