You're vastly underestimating the power of the O&D traffic in the NYC area. There is no way JFK will shrivel up.

How would that play into or effect any potential acquisition?

I guess their whole list just got a 15% relative seniority buff. Nice potential windfall simply for running a couple new hire classes.

Ah! Makes sense.

I wonder what would be fenced out of a deal like this... For example if we acquired them would we be fenced out of HNL?

Thanks for the help TS!

Not sure what you are referring to, but there are only 2 fences.. when they fall, there are no more. (Hint: try the quote button if you want others to follow your comment)

He's referring to a possible HAL acquisition.

To which I say... change to a longevity based pay system, and give 'em DOH.

That ought to stir the hornets..

DOH isn't an option anymore since our list is no longer based on DOH.
