The NMB would have no factual basis to claim that it is an unreasonable demand. SWAPA has it. SWA is our largest domestic competitor. SWA is a very profitable company. DAL is an even more profitable company. APA went wrong by demanding something from their unprofitable company at a time when there was nobody else comparable. The new NMB saw that as unreasonable.

Man would THAT be true. Their biggest problem with it would be knowing that it is a winning strategy with the NMB.
