You're changing the subject and your premise. Which is good because I hope that means you realize that using company fleet plans to make the TA's scope concessions less damaging is foolish.

The point is that whatever they ultimately decide, it has no bearing on evaluating the TA scope concessions that are in front of us now.

They all have the range Sailingfun. It makes perfect sense to run these into gate/slot controlled airports if your goal is to have others fly our passengers, while still sharing the revenue and profits. If this is management's plan, this TA language specifically allows this plan to thrive.

Look at whatever you want sailingfun, but fleet plans aren't facts. They never will be. If you use them to evaluate TA language, you're using non-factual information by definition.
