Not exactly a good analogy. Those are outsourced carriers and are under contract to operate those routes... they don't sell the tickets for them. On top of that, it shows how incredibly poor the management structures are that we support through outsourcing.
So let's allow 70 more large RJs to help those management teams last longer in the future!
