I'm thinking there is much more to the story.......but I'll doubt we'll ever really know.

Maybe. They also probably made the determination to keep the excess at the top. It keeps the senior pilots happy, and generally blissful to a new contract, scope etc. It also will help reduce training events if we ever decide to expand

The Internet Brands guys do that, we have no say and no knowledge of that stuff. I see you do not have an ad blocker!

I'll make it simple, you are totally off base. They get mod services for free, and we have no contact with the owners of the web site. Next?

Who knows, EK will just put people on the AS flights as well.

It also reduces overlap with AMR out of the MIA hub.......

Might pull some of those senior ER FO's out of their daze, I know a few that are going to bid ATL DC9A on this bid. They want a left seat.
