If you believe that rounds of golf with CR are a guarantee of status quo then you may be in for a surprise.
CR has a consistent track record. Business comes first.
SKY served a purpose in 2011 when AC wanted to diversify Express work away from Jazz. SKY served a purpose again in 2013 after AC won the right through arbitration to place the 15 mainline 175’s at Express.
Now with another crisis foisted upon AC, it will be what’s best for AC that prevails.
I doubt that status quo is on the table. CEO’s don’t make sentimental decisions. Both RP and CR know that. It is never personal.
