Yes, this is interesting. Actually, I am curious to see what the 'restructuring plan' will look like, but I'll bet it will take longer than Feb. 7 to finish it.

Let's hope it doesn't turn out like the system used in the UK, where independent contractors provide service on various routes. I believe this has proven to be a disaster!
