The same as everyone else.....
It leaves them in the same situation as most of all the majors.
BTW, ALPA should lobby for J/S privledges only apply to union carriers if they want union privledges to mean anything. Otherwise, pilots will whore themselves out anywhere. Look at the way Aloha was giving Mesa pilots rides to the islands to compete against them on interisland flights for a year before calling it quits. It happens all the time. How many Jet Blue and VA pilots could afford to live in the bases they have? Hardly any, or they would have to either ask for union representation or at least a pay raise appropriate with their location.

I guess they have shown that their product is unsustainable at the price they charge for a ticket. So where does that leave them?
