The way I understand it at the moment, if the TA MEMRAT's, is that we will gain "hub" protections WRT future non Alaska domestic code shares. IOW, its a theoretical gain and nice to have, but all signs point to this never coming into play. I understand if the company didn't want an instant cancellation of 10% of the AS code share in all its forms right now. What I don't get is why they refused to at least lock us in to the status quo gains we've made. Limit them to at least today's levels. That would cost nothing now, and since the VX merger is supposedly a 100% done deal, it would cost nothing in the future. Ever. Yet the company flat out refused. Why?
