QX used to be the destination regional. They may very well have been late in figuring out that it is no longer the case.

Yes. I believe that SWA's only unprofitable quarter/year was heading into negotiations.

How about then and than. One looks like a complete moron when they can't get those right.

Then - Usually has to do with time. I was acquired by Alaska Airlines THEN I got a job at Delta.

Than - Comparing two things. Our pay rates are less THAN most other operators.

Than vs. then - Grammarist
