He does make a few good points. But then again you have to remember the Japan and Brazil rights as well. Obviously with Japan being down the road but Brazil will be as soon as this is complete. I dont know if there's a true way of knowing how much those are worth. But having a greater hold on DCA is always a great thing, or so it would seem. You think those senators and reps are going to let USairways go away? I think a lot of them have a strong intrest in USairways doing well due to the number that fly on Airways to and from work..... However DCA in general does seem like a good market.

I guess I've been furloughed and back after 7 months on the street. If it means I hit the street again for USairways to become more solid and get things right to move forward I'm ok with that. At the same time I dont want to be the one kicking myself in a year if they go under because they did not try their best to become a more profitable airline. But for the time being and near future, I dont see moving on to anywhere else as a real possibility so I am hopeful Airways mgt is making the right decisions here. And it appears they are from the outside looking in.
