Carl, that's not correct. I specifically stated that LUV and FedEx will be in the contract comparison. I have stated my belief that FDX and UPS are highly profitable companies in a rational duopoly. They
are a different industry (overnight package express) whose pilots do the same job we do. LUV is in the same industry with a different business model. They should and will be included as a comparable.
