Oh, so we should count on the DOT to limit their slots into slot controlled airports? As soon as they undercut us, and we start losing pax and revenue, we reduce flights, and our slots get reassigned as undercutters bid for more.

Planing on using secondary airports with the 737 Max, both sides of the pond.

Can they work at Goldman Sachs for pennies? Can they captain a 757 for delta for pennies? Pilots are mostly republican, capitalist free market no government interventionist types right up until the time it hits them in the wallet, then they turn into whining little *****es who want daddy trump to intervene and save your job. most pilots I know, lack the courage of their convictions. Present company excluded of course, only the DB's on JC.

trump won't do squat. He spends his time looking for cheap labor to screw over. This is truly the beginning of the end for the 3 legacies and the regionals that feed them. Plan B better be solid

Enough of the melodrama. This isn't the end of the legacies. It will impact them, yes, but it isn't the end of them or lucrative careers. I just wouldn't plan on much international widebody flying in the future.

You, sir, are 100% right! Just like he wouldn't, couldn't, never, ever possibly be elected POTUS, too.

Guys, this happened to the maritime industry. All of the US cruise lines vanished. Why do you think this will be any different? The legacies cannot survive without their international revenue. That is just a fact of the business.
