Regarding performance, I can only speak for Mesaba, but our performance numbers are very good... you just don't ever hear about them because they're not reported to the DOT.
Which ever way the chips fall, it shall be interesting. It's finally nice to be on the side of good fortune at Mesaba.
The streamlining has begun here at Comair as far as back office stuff. I guess we're suppossed to join you guys and Compass at MCHoldings here in the next few months. Let the whipsaw begin!
