When this contract gets compleated the QOL here will be better because of it. We will also grow. There is no hiding that. Delta loves Atlanta and ASA gets 80% of the DCI flying out of here. SKW, INC. (SKW and ASA) get 40% of all DCI growth. Those are hard numbers. There will be growth in other parts of the country, but the majority of it will be in Delta's home town.
A word for you guys and gals in the pool. Sit tight. If someone else calls by all means go. Learn never to put your lives on hold for an airline.
