Reality Check.... Bigger guns are needed if an attempt even cause the NAI application to go to committee. That may prove to be a costly dog and pony show for the tax payers which will probably have the same end result.... Granting NAI's application.
Bottom line a coalition of US carrriers is required. They have the money to enlist an army of lobbyists, if that's what they have in mind.
This is a check the box stratedgy. Fine, try and get them denied. But they will get approved, bank on it. We all need to be proactive and management needs to abandon their unsustainable MBA crackberry day trader fantasy of autocapacity asphyxiating themselves to drive up quarterly margins. Those days are rapidly coming to an end and I've yet to see an exit stratedgy from the so called best and brightest.
NAI is a filth and a cancer, literally worse than clotted blood and puss on a dirty wound, whatever that's called. The
only way to counter that stain is to capacity dump and yield trash until they go away. Every market they open has to be an instantaneous money loser. We can afford to do it on scale and they can't. Its as simple as that. But the tired mantra of each city pair having to prove its individual profitabilty is a failed model going forward because with scum like NAI, the only way to adhere to that model is to yield them our marketshare as fast as they want to grow into it.
We need to dump on them hard and force them into liquidation and the back stabbers that fly for them need to be sent to the street. Its them or us.
