More awesome news for us.

Now VA does LAX-SYD, LAX-Brisbane, LAX-Melbourne. All Delta code-share flights. And all we do is LAX-SYD. How is this crap legal? Isn't this supposed to be at least 50-50 flying shared between us and VA?
This is rapidly becoming a domestic airline. I am so glad Alaska gave us the finger. if not, we would be farming out domestic too.
How does non-revving on these routes work? In addition to all the flying we're yielding elsewhere, are we also losing international travel privileges or seniority in doing so?
