Wow, you guys just really drove home my point!
Ok, so lets say we ditch AA (which we won't because when the going gets good, the at risk flying makes Hulas a pretty penny) and we get 70 seat jets, I wonder who's contract they are going to look at as an example. Hmm, the ultimate way we'd get screwed by GoJet.
BTW, if you are so glued to an airplane and you're out of a job, GOD FOR BID you should go flight instruct. That would be tragic. I know of one place in St. Louis that would pay you salary and incredible bennies and give you plenty of multi-engine PIC!
oh, but you'd need your CFI's for that
