That was a "business" point, not a "saving money" point, HOWEVER, to have 1,400 typed pilots show up on property without the HR involved in 1,400 interviews, and initial training, a few a a time, of 1,400 pilots,, would save money.
Virgin: bought
AirTran: bought
TWA: bought
Northwest: bought
US Air: bought / merged
All recently.
Gone but not forgotten, recent history: Skybus, USA300, National (LAS 757s),
Independence.. A few more?
All add up to fewer carriers with projected increase in worldwide demand.

Who WOULD'NT buy us? So many buyouts in history. The legacies all have Airbus on property. Why buy?
1. Stock prices was $80 last year. Now it is $40, with more planes, more pilots, more revenue.
2. We are the most profitable airline in the country.
3. Mainline fleet is aging. Our average plane age is 5.5 years and decreasing every month. Significant and valuable aircraft orders through 2021.
4. Pilots. Legacies will be hurting for pilots in the coming decade. They would get a fairly young force of 1400+ typed pilots.
5. Buyer would no longer have to discount against us on overlapping routes.
6. Routes. Significant, prized, south of the border routes.
7....8...9....

1000% agree. This is the same company that pushed out LMS modules that didn't work and supplied a support email that, guess what, DIDN'T work either. I don't see how these idiots get their pants on in the morning.
