This is all true to a point, but its important not to overstate its reach. 450 is 450 is 450. Done. Capped out. All the company can do is try and bribe us with our own money to give up more. While we might fall for it, I don't see it happening. And it is by no means an automatic manifest destiny. 450 is 450. 76 is 76. Unless they go bat poo crazy with 37 seat turboprops, it appears we just may have finally put a fence around this beast. At least at the DCI level. Standing by for the VA "partnership" to see how that plays out.
