Oh?? Hmmmmm look at the post directly above yours. Looks to me like they are a global carrier too.
The only other solution I might see would be some kind of DOHish type solution with large fences protecting them in HI. Since the fences we currently have were retarded to begin with and really didn't protect anybody, I am not sure that is a good solution either. Somebody is gonna win, and somebody is gonna lose, even if it is to a small degree.. they will win. I would imagine that the super premium seniority will be protected and a ratio of sorts below that will ensue. The interesting thing will be that since there is such a disparity in their fleet size... big... and very small.. it will not be a consistent ratio throughout the list. The bottom guys on OUR list will probably feel the most pain, but since there are only 500+/- of them.. it won't be all that bad..
JMHO
