This is the problem I have with ALPA at B6. Think for a moment outside of the Legacy CBA mentality and put yourself in managements shoes. Just think of this as an intellectual exercise. Sometimes we don't see the forest through the trees because we don't trust management and we are worried about job protection, when the reality is you could be increasing jobs through more international traffic. Just bear with me and think about this scenario.

You can't increase domestic traffic because you are slot restricted at JFK. But your most valued revenue comes from your International JFK traffic. You want to add seat capacity at JFK with new 787s. But you need to fill the seats, so you Codeshare with JetBlue, not for domestic Codeshare profits, but to fill your International seat, adding much needed revenue.

Just don't allow the unrestricted Codeshare. Restrict it in negotiations to only Slot restricted airports where AMR can not add it's own domestic capacity. Everybody wins....maybe?
