Hope the pilot groups do the right thing, but I have a bad feeling that the AAI pilots are going to be on the shorter end of that stick regardless.

I'm guessing that LUV could just justify the removal of the 717s with replacement 737s, but I'd be hard pressed to see how long it would take to make such a replacement.
