Yes, there are critical differences in these two flow mechanisms. Remember, at AAG the industry frequently "changes". It will again in the future and just as Parker has proved before, you either play or pay. In a consolidation scenario or not, I think the flow will be become more balanced among the WO's just as they will be as well and Envoy ALPA wont bark next time having already demonstrated no ability to bite and will play.
