Coincidentally, that flying begins in April, when our 20 50s become available. IAD anyone?
The company can not understandably say much about these things, but where can the reasonable assurance come from that if the pilots back it and vote PBS in that they won't be played a fool if the RFP is lost to another carrier.
Also, what's the time frame of voting it in?
