Try hoping for voluntary further reductions in industry capacity or prepare to watch some folks be forced out!

I gotta agree with ya on this one RV4. Its funny though, seems to me that since we have an over abundance of capacity we should be putting planes on the ground, but it seems that the powers that be can't seem to see outside of the box, they have this "tude" that we've always done it that way and thats how its gonna be.
Since the F100s have to have the containment shield mod done at a cost of 1-1.5mm per engine, put em on the ground, don't take 2yrs to do it, put down now. As for the A-300 Scarebus, Put em down, Airbus said they would pay for a new tail on the 1 we took off and inspected, well just like they are doing now about Iraq, they crawfished out of it, so I say put em down and we immediately get rid of 108 planes/34-A300s +74 F100s/. Capacity shrinks, maybe the cuts we are being asked to endure wouldn't be so drastic.
