I have a feeling reserve is going to get much worse over the next few months. This past year or two has been pretty much a cake walk on reserve but the past six weeks I have been getting killed. My only silver lining is that I'm actually starting to see some movement with almost 20 guys coming down to DFW over the next 5-6 weeks and more on the way after that.

But seriously this better be a pilot vote.

You know we already bowed down and gave them PBS. They can start to implement it, after I believe the 41st 175 is on property.

I thought we took like a pay hit if we didn't. I was under the impression it was under negotiation after the 40th 175, as a way to intice them to place 175s here. But I have no proof, just going off what's been discussed behind the bullet proof curtain.

They can try to punish us for it, but they'd only be shooting themselves in the foot in the long run.
