BTW, rumor has the SkyWest bid for flying the 700s came in nearly a $1000 an hour cheaper than Horizon's. Sounds a bit much to me, but I'm sure it wasn't just a savings of $30 an hour crew cost.
You work in one of the most highly regulated industries in the world. Get real, the airlines are the farthest thing from true capitalism you will find in this country. If you wanted free markets to run this industry you would get fired every five years and replaced by someone 10 years younger wiling to work for half your salary. How does that sound? I bet you'd be singing a different tune then.
