What else could that mean? It always concerns me when someone high up dispenses a talking point that only makes sense when you don't really think about it. It makes you wonder what's in the other hand you can't see.
I think it has more to do with RASM and total market share than it has to do with who's flying what. He uses AMS as an example of what he wants Paris to be. Maybe a FNW type could elaborate.
