I think you missed the point of my previous post, sadly, that doesn't surprise me in the least. Your punctuation, grammar and the overall immaturity of your post demonstrates a portion of the case we made to Eischen and adds nothing of value to the discussion.
I don't feel "spanked." I feel the Arbitrator did a poor job of listening to the positions and arguments presented to him.
The people that matter, the Attorneys, thought our legal team was very good. The way the IMSL turned out was not a result of the individual Attorneys, the witnesses or the cases presented to Eischen by each of the five parties.
The best evidence of the disconnect between the cases and the award is the difference between Eischen's written decision and the Excel "scatter graph or plot" that Eischen was so fond of. The two are practically polar opposites.

If you listened to the Q3 Earnings call (11-8-11) and/or the Webinar (11-10-11) you would be aware of the Company's position that the < 50 seaters are killing Branded and may even be killing the Company in the FFD operations. Bryan stated that, in some cases, it will be cheaper to park those aircraft than operate them.
The 170's are a mixed bag, losing money on the Branded side but making it up with a VERY small profit by feeding the Branded operation. The 170's are all coming off the Branded side ASAP.
The 190's are doing better than the 170's and they mat stay with the Branded side, if for no other reason than RAH has no where else to place them. That's why the Company cancelled or indefinitely deferred something like 18-20 190 orders.
The 318's lost money, they're going away.
The 319's and 320's - in DEN - were the only profitable aircraft in the RAH system, that's why we're getting 80 more of those aircraft (many will be replacement aircraft for aging Airbii).
To summarize:
135's and 145's getting parked or are in need of renegotiation with the CPA partners for them to be profitable.
170's going into the FFD side as quickly as possible.
190's are frozen for now.
The only long-term growth is on the Branded side with 319's and 320's.
The reason Bryan bought F9 was his belief that the FFD world is "a melting ice cube."
So, I wouldn't categorize what we're doing in getting away from the FFD side of RAH as "life support", it's closer to being 100 pounds overweight and needing to shed that weight to be healthy.
And all of us can hardly wait to shed that 100 pounds.
