I agree. I would love to see that. Unfortunately, I haven't heard a solid plan of how to do that.

I have to admit that I am intrigued by the idea of a block hour ratio that sets a falling (only) floor of how much we can outsource.

Currently DCI does nearly half of our domestic lift. This proposal will significantly shift flying to mainline. That shift will be permanent. Additionally, we will have gained JV protection and many other incremental gains. None of it is sexy, but when you take the whole package, it is something that needs to be considered very carefully.

Anyone that is dismissing this agreement without a serious look is doing themselves a disservice. If we ultimately decide as a group to shoot this thing down, then great. As long as the decision is made on facts and logical analysis of the TA I'm fine with it. Let's just make sure we are making the best decision we can, without letting our pride or emotions getting mixed in.
