We don't even need to take it that far. One pound or one seat above our current limits and that's it. No quarter. Let them choke on their ignorant fantasies. If we want those planes to operate on our certificate, let them bleed out (won't take long) and buy them on the courthouse steps. They have nothing we need and they have nothing we can't get ourselves for cheaper anyway. Canadair and Embraer would trip all over themselves to ink a deal with a legacy over those scrub fake ACMI RFP CEO's any day.
