And it is on the strategy that has been employed so far that there is disagreement. Some would argue that it has failed because we have not yet restored our compensation to what we had before. Others would argue that it has succeeded because we continue to lead the other mainline carriers.
As you say, a significantly more aggressive posture has not been tried in our situation, so there is no clear cut answer as to whether it would succeed. Ergo, my initial argument that calling those who would disagree with such a posture as being "misguided or dumb" is inappropriate. They may well be wrong, but that is no reason to malign them.
