Bar;
When were these rates agreed to? 2001.
I agree with the premise of a sustainable model. What I stated was that given the fact that we agreed to these rates in a "industry leading" contract and guys flew these jets for less pay that their seniority cold hold (same jet at mainline for more pay in some instances) set a bad precedence of what guys willing to do the same work for.
Express had a lower RASM and we flew it for a lower rate than the same work done at mainline. It was great for the guys that did it, but in the end it proved something.
I agreed with the premise of Rogue's point.
