keeping that in mind, how am I supposed to believe the 1.56 ratio will remain when it's deemed uneconomical?
I think the only thing that is guaranteed is "there are no promises of growth in this agreement."

Per my logic, giving away jobs to another airline is a line I will refuse to cross.
Per your logic... it's okay to cross that line?

Well, if they need relief I'm sure we can give them relief on the 1.56 if they need it.
After all...

Remember, we're just trying to hit singles, maybe doubles, maybe hope the pitcher balks but we'll probably tell the Ump that's okay and just maybe... get hit in the head with the ball. Moving something like the 1.56 ratio if they need it moved will pay dividends next time on something I'm sure.
