We are making money. I can't see why this would make us more.
While it appears we *may* have accepted the end of the capacity canibalization quarterly smash gravy train, I could see a 40% chance of us trying this in one form or another. There's always someone standing to benefit from a popup bonus for short term good ideas that end up being bad long term. But bonuses don't have to be given back, do they?

As is sometimes the case, the losses amount to workman's compensation claims which are completely inadequate for the need. I do appreciate our life insurance and ALPA's inclusion in our contract.

Only other explanation could be some sort of catastrophic control failure I suppose.
RIP to those poor souls.

They are not a unionized carrier. I just talked to my friend who works there and they are about to go fly. They are doing as good as they can be right now.
