Growing a standalone airline's WB fleet 200% and trimming 95% of an airline's NB fleet via redundancy from a merger are two completely different animals. One is a pipe dream and the other is a nightmare reality from a common practice for companies seeking cost savings in mergers.
In summarizing: we are looking at a well know practice of merger redundancy versus your pipe dream that CAL was planning to somehow buy up a bunch of not for sale international WB routes and increase WB fleet 200%....ridiculous but obviously a weak SLI strategy.
