The resulting lopsided, unrealistic SLI guaranteed that the groups could never work together on any kind of 'one list', and as such, guaranteed a separation/sale of the Frontier product.

If the IBT had agreed to a reasonable mediated solution, 'one list' could have been workable and beneficial for all parties.

Instead, you will see Frontier sold. You will also see your 190s and some smaller branded ERJs disappear. Thank you IBT.
So, what would have been a realistic SLI award, workable and beneficial for all parties? While I agree the award was far from perfect (I got screwed royally), the other proposals were basically a staple of native RAHers to list of the other proposing parties. Can't say that's fair either.
