This is true. If you don't consider it a bad practice to try to break contracts, and you don't think it will affect your ability to conduct business with third parties, and you don't think it will torpedo your cerdit, then getting rid of 50-seaters is no problem. I didn't think of that.
Do you think they might sue, tough?
