Well sure.. that is correct. I'm not trying to fight either, I just wasn't sure where you were coming from. Supposedly though, the 76 seat flying is capped, and hopefully we will finally show enough backbone to not let it go any further. Oh wait.. I forgot where I am... yup.. we're boned.

OK.. you are assuming that the retirees are not going to be replaced. Actually, that is a short term view, but OK.. I'll buy that... initially. But when the C.R.A.P. (Congressional Relief Action Plan) starts to take hold and create (as Nancy Pelosi says) 500 million jobs, we will be once again expanding, and your relative seniority will surely get much much better.
