Also shrinking and over a year to get in there now, and even longer to get off reserve. If they don't renew the 700 contracts that are up who knows if there will even be a Houston base next year.

Ever heard of the straw man fallacy?

I said that the payroll is a disaster. I didn't say that I hated SkyWest 😉

IAH has been the same size or slightly growing in the 18 months I've been here. Most junior FO there is 9 months.

Well you need to look at the list again. They just let ten upgrades out a couple of months ago without backfilling the vacancies. Houston had 115 crews at one point.
