One must ask why do this cutting instead of shutting the whole thing down and selling the assets?

I suspect the intrinsic value of using Comair and the massive pay cuts they are about to take as a lever against the other regionals is worth a lot more.

We are about to enter a new era of whipsaw like we've never seen before. I hate to see pilots, FAs and mechanics lose their jobs in the short term, but in the long run, you'll probably get ALL the growth if you get yourselves cheaper than Mesa. We'll be the ones without jobs.
