We could acquire them, get those slots back on the cheap, recapture the scope for that seat class. Staple the pilots( just as in the current flow agreement with them) but giving thier Captains a 5 year fence...... no need for us to be like SWA, give the pilots there some senoirity protections on thier own equipment and some basic dignity!

P.S.I have no idea of the legality of the above statement, mostly I just like to raise T's blood pressure. It's hillarious to watch him rant.
