That's exactly the way I look at it. We don't want to be the victims of cabotage, or participants. We just want to do our fair share of flying, considering our airline bought 49% of theirs. The number of slots is finite, so there is no growth story, just a reallocation story. Let the Virgin pilots fly their domestic feed into the TA operation, and we'll fly our domestic feed to our side. Then we can split the TA flying using appropriate ratios. No jobs lost at VA.
Or is that just too logical?
