Couple of points, Mutt...Freedom Ferrari just fine with me, but not with Freedom Fries & Toast. Have you heard anything of a rumour about 2 or 3 new Freedom Falcons for SFS?
...VWXYZ...doesn't SV have 5 400's?
411A...'not renewing contracts' meant 'standardization checkrides' with a pink slip at final distination. Get high on an approach to Abha, requiring a 360? Bye Bye, if not endowed with green passport. SV saved by Eastern & Aussie strikes, making many desperate people available at once. SV has always been lucky that way; again now, they've overfired (as in mid-80's, but this time at instigation of present DG, who has shown standard SV ability to plan ahead); the present aviation slump will bail them out.
