Rev BB is a smart guy and has had the help of Republics EXCO to reduce labor costs.
Word to the wise. BB will target anyone who raises labor* costs. Don't plan on a career at Republic.
* management does not see itself as labor
They need to staff an airline regardless of labor group disputes. BB will have to abide by the SLI just like the pilots. The end result will be the same regardless of the current recalls. Not really sure why im responding to you. You're just looking for a nonsensical argument.
