At the end of the day, DCI shrinks and ML grows, contractually. I think it would cost way too much negotiating capital to get us in the 76 seaters.

We are getting close to the 100 seat mark, arent we? Dangerous move. We could be a 7000 pilot work force soon. Just like RA wanted NWA to be at 4900 pilots from 6500 pilots, he also wants Delta to be much much smaller.

Can't the same thing be said about you? Everything is always in the eye of the beholder. I bet some think you are blind, too.
