As to the charters, my guess is that they are more interested in the higher margin activities and as a rule don't seek low margin flying to grow or maintain the size of the airline. This has been proven time and again. As a stategy this is probably one of the primary reasons we do so well in the good times and get hurt less in the bad times.

I strongly agree that any wage reductions in the hope of preventing furloughs is going to be a poor choice in the long run for all of us.
