I agree with you and Nu. I hate to see us lose the flow, but in the short run it's probably best. The reason I say this is we will no longer be flowing down to a wholly owned. I have no knowledge of the companies we sold to, I'll let Bar or ACL chime in, but it sure doesn't like any of us would want to work there.

We will NOT park airplanes in the current environment. So, that only leaves rearranging the chairs.

As I said in another thread, I sort of see this as a cake and eat it too opportunity. We get more DCI seats pulled out of the system so they are forced to pick up more lift on our end. The flow up becomes moot as we hire more Compass and Mesaba guys than would have flowed up anyway. As I said before, I'm sure there is a knight moving into position to take my queen but that's how I see this. But, I'm reading all sides because I'm also sure I don't see everything.
