If anything, these ratios have me thinking again about some sort of consolidation, or growth transaction.
The way I see it, we either get bigger, or it's status quo. This agreement does not work for a "pump and dump" or consolidation of mainline flying.
Top end or bottom end of what? The ratios are for domestic MBH not IMBH
We will more than likely get bigger. Look at slow's ratios. 22% is not their target is it? It is more like 38% Bar. 1.56:1. 22% is low really low. If I recall slows ratio was 1.6~:1. That allows a lot of slop there if they need to pull down. It still allows the narrow gauge mainline aircraft that are seen as growth to be the first accumulator in the system. Even under the new ratios.
With the build up period going until the end of 2015 we will either renegotiate these ratios or the press to test arrives in 2017 and beyond.(About the time the 717 assumed leases start expiring)
