They do seem expensive and the Yen issue is something to consider. Perfect fleet mix though. I think it all hinges on the geographic fit to the long term master plan (if any).

Yeah I guess. The main thing we would get from them we could get on our own anyway really. From our perspective it would be a nice shot of adrenaline to get them instantly, but like Seattle, if a HNL hub made sense, we could go in there tomorrow and start a "Win in Honolulu" type buildup. You are right though that getting access to HND and the 330/717s would be a nice shot, but the geographical puzzle piece is easy to get without leveraging ourselves.

The most important part of your survey is to protect profit sharing and move it off the table.

There have however been no discussions with the company on profit sharing or about a early contract opening contrary to your posts.

You are stuck in the past. The air line industry has changed forever.
Our profit in 2015 will exceed $5.5 billion and the economy is just getting started.
Why make concessions?
We need a minimum of 25% date of signing along with major improvements in every section of the PWA.
Sorry Lee Moak. I know that hurts your management loving ears.

Again if tomorrow Delta offered a 14% raise to end the profit sharing we should jump all over it. They won't offer it however because it would not be a good deal for management.
