I know they say don't come to a regional for the base, but I thought once I got to DFW I would be relatively safe.
Obviously not.
I guess we'll have to use the quote again...

It will be the opposite, people will keep trickling in above them making their bidding seniority never improve.

I’m aware man, I am one of the new guys affected. I am trying to be optimistic, but it’s hard to...
The only saving grace we may have is all the XJEt guys coming over, but that’s assuming they come to ENY over E9... once word gets out they are going to be in LGA either way, why wouldn’t they go to E9?

To me this seems like the most money scenario. I admit I don't have too much experience in this area, but it seems solid to me.
Am I missing something?
Also every one might have a different end game in mind.
