Applicable portions of the PWA below. While this sucks, it does limit what they are able to do. The thinking is if the company can sell more than 75 seats then we would do it ourself (does that # sound familiar like less than a full 76 seater??) if not then they can share the flight with someone else and pull whatever revenue they can sell. Great from a business perspective, not so much for us.
