Without talking about specific people, I think the new MEC will be very interesting. There is some "old blood" interested in returning, some current folks wanting to remain, some current folks who can't get out quick enough, and some line pilots that have a desire to step into the hot seats. Time will tell. Flow and attrition will make things complicated for some bases.

No, its about getting the most accurate data under ALPA merger policy rules.

Beyond that, it's all Bloch.
