I couldn't agree more; at least they stopped the bleeding at 86 seats.

It's always better to have the choice to leave than be forced to leave. Remember that those flying the E's are more than likely the most JR US Airways pilots (mainly the FO's, after all those East guys are......well you just can't call them JR.....LOL), there for no E-jets.............no job.

BTW, I jump US a lot.
