Agree, that's probably what would happen.

But it's a moot point if they get all of the 76-seaters they're allowed through the FL B717s and probably at the production rate Bombardier is willing to put out.

Now, as far as I see once we are all one happy family then I don't see anything that stops them from being counted in the ratio so they'll more than beat the 1.56 ratio requirement. Which provides the Company the flexibility they'll need moving forward.

If we did merge with HA, we would need to negotiate a JCBA before we are one big happy family. I'm betting the ratio would be addressed in the negotiation and it would at least be a wash if not better.
