That's the sunshine they keep pumping up everybody else's you know what. That they are a "life line", that nobody can replace them. Well, that's total BS!

Meanwhile, Frank K's big yellow birds would take up the slack. As would Northstar, Air Bravo, Thunder Airlines, and everybody else. The pop, pampers and chips would continue to flow.

Wasaya would leave a void.......for a few days.
