What tsquare said, but I will add that the specific NYC growth was dressed up and sold as something that will benefit mainline and it hasn't. All its allowed is the flexibility to close MEM and reallocate inferior product, high cost RJ resources to one of the most critical markets in the world where we are in a fierce battle with a superior mainline product. Its turning LGA into a mainline high bypass alter ego hub because NYC is the mother of all O&D markets and we're betting the farm (again) on outsourced RJ's there. At least this time those RJ's are DC-9 replacement size though so it should turn out better.

Oh and of course all that outsourcing will produce revenues that we will be able to share in! That is so freaking brilliant. We should totally give up more outsourcing so that we can have more riches to share in!
