Note the news from American today. Oil prices are starting to hit home.

The increase in jet fuel costs is making some marginal flights less profitable. American said it will further trim previous plans to increase flying in the third and fourth quarters. That could help allay investors' fears that American and other airlines are expanding faster than the growth in travel demand, which is preventing them from raising fares to offset fuel prices.
The airline also announced that it will delay the delivery of 22 Airbus jets to reduce capital spending in 2019 through 2021 by $1.2 billion.

Basically none of it. We dropped I think GDL from ATL and added LAX to Mexico City. I think GDL was seasonal. Contractually our Mexico flying can’t be reduced. With the current company/MEC relationship I doubt you will see any increase. I suspect 100% of new flying will go to AeroMexico.

I supported the decision based on the company not talking to us per the contract. It however never should have come to that. We no longer have any meanful conversation with the company which is the bigger issue. Nothing is getting done. You have a paralyzed MEC that speaks loudly but carries a very tiny stick.

As a reserve pilot it works out very well if we're over manned.

Which is important because pilots who may have been able to hold a line if Sils had been awarded, are on reserve.
