Sounds like Bendo thinks that there is no need to pay your crews as low as Mesa, but that Comair's crew costs are still 15 to 20% higher than their competition.

I heard that he pretty much said he wasn't around during that bankruptcy, but that basically he was put in place to lower cost. So when asked about all of the money that the crews gave up during the bankruptcy and why that wasn't enough he said something about the settlement that followed which made it not really a big cost saving.
