TD,
While I agree getting better rates then JB would make this an easier pill to swallow, pay is not the only issue. Most guys who work at the regional level don't understand the huge increase in QOL that comes with moving on to a Legacy. There are many other things that need to be addressed. Also, I think B.B. is hoping to use these at Midwest until it goes under, and then shift them to Hawaii for an independent operation.
