His point is very valid. Under the new system, their will be more secondary line holders... period....dot. Under the old system, if the planners hit their numbers right, 100% of the R-days were awarded during the initial bid, the number of secondaries was the original number in the bid pack and no one got converted. I seriously doubt many months (if any) had 20% of the R-lines converted to secondaries. Things simply aren't that dynamic - flying just doesn't appear out of thin air.
