9-11 was outside of our control. This merger is within our control. Apples and oranges. As for 9E guys going without a contract for so long? They need to look in a mirror. As cold as it sounds, they allowed it to happen.

Whether or not we're coming out "good" remains to be seen. That's assuming we're going to get a decent TA. The FO's at Colgan carefully weighed their decision to come here for a quick upgrade. We didn't come here for a "great" contract, and can afford to live without one for a while...a LONG while if need be.
