and why would aa give that much control to 3 feeders which is if you believe aa management there purpose to diversify to 4/5 feeders to keep costs down?

The RAH 12 year deal was for RAH to finance the aircraft using the 12 year feed contract as collateral.

but stanger things in this industry have happened.
