First - sell off older jets
Second - settle with pilots

i read the link from joel wiley, and I wonder what the gripe is from the pilot union. Boeing aircraft that look just like the aircraft these guys/gals already fly. some new training is involved with the arrival of the max8's, and where is the harm there? I belong to several unions, and I see the need for that to continue, BUT, enough already. The benefits from a more efficient airplane should first accrue to the company- they are paying for the airplanes after all, and the pilots ought to view the new planes as a full employment guarantor. If a new, more generous contract results in reduced profitability, don't be surprised by layoffs. bad idea for everybody.
