And as we're in the process of spending capital to put the new logo on the side of the airplanes and every other piece of forward facing material with our logo I can't then see merging in six months to do it all over again.

It’s just a guess that fits the facts and not indicative of what I’m hoping will happen.

Boeing has presented a 3/2 aircraft full fleet swap plan with simulator and MX support. I don't want F9 or antique airplanes but who knows what's coming our way. Hopefully Ted's welcome email is a tad longer than Bob's was.

I bet uniforms aren’t one of the top 50 things execs GAF about when considering mergers or acquisitions. They’d probably put us in a pair of chinos and a polo anyway, so how much could that possibly cost?

And Teds welcome email? What welcome. He’s already taken over. Just another absentee CEO. You won’t hear much from him. Behind the scenes so far. My last airline, We had a damn good CEO. Weekly updates. Videos. He was very hands on and vocal. You won’t see that here since Baldanza
