I agree Smittey, once the Q is on property I think we'll be able to pass ALPA just on the Q's payrate. Colgan likes to say that they adjust the pay based on other Turbo-prop operators, however Horizon pilots are making at least 25% more to fly the Q. The industry standard argument is somewhat null in that respect. Also EWR, DEN, these are very expensive cities. We'll need more pay or a very solid commuting clause. Seggy, when do you guys plan on ramping up the drive again?
