Recapturing flying already lost would be very expensive, and that maybe is his point. I personally would never vote to allow any DCI carrier even one more 70 seater or larger.
Nope, this demographic will sell 100 seat scope for a hefty raise without batting an eye. As one guy put it, "I've go 5 years to maximize my money to make up for what was stolen. After that this place go to ****, I'll be gone."
From a strictly self interest point of you I get it. The loss of the DB and the rise of the DC has created a split in the collective self interest in this industry. Until the Deadzoners are gone, scope sales will have to be monitored closely. Younger guys that are fully invested in the DC plan have more of a long term profitability interest in the company. Not saying those guys are wrong, just different self interests.
