Con Republic:

Unproven leadership in a very tough economic time. Growth might force junior pilots to commute to new bases.
I agree, you make good points for all four cases. There will be no whipsaw. The lists will be integrated by the end of May. As for the leadership, unproven in the arena they have enter is true, but they have done an excellent job up to this point. There is tremendous upside to this as well as downside. Only time will tell.
