I fail to see where we are going to put 9% more wide bodies. the JV language states our share is 50% +/- 1%, meaning the can go as low as 49% or as high as 51%. The agreement with our JV partners for half of the flying, more or less prohibits us from flying more than our share. Our participation in the LHR is limited by the VA JV, we gave up the NRT hub concept. LA is constrained because we are not paying the officials in LA more than AA is to keep us out.
Where are they going to go?
