Right, but never lose sight of why this is being done. It's being done so that they can keep pay at the regionals low and still fill the seats up front. That's the bottom line. Note, I'm not saying that they haven't put together a package which has potential long term benefits, I would agree that they have Just pointing out that despite the attractiveness of the deal, it's still a case of holding out the promise of a good job to get you to work for a while at the job that you don't really want to do, at least long term.
