True, but do you understand the changes ALPA made in 1998 that facilitated what started to happen four years later?

Alter Ego airlines should have never been allowed in the first place. But, now that we have them there are two possible answers if we decide to repair the situation, negotiate contracts that their involvement in our "Company flying," or try to find ways to work with them and absorb them as we can. Of the two possible solutions (and I'm for either one) the second is more economically viable.
