LOL running the airline?
Um, yeah, OK. By that logic, let's do away with all scope. Let's debut ATL and NYC and give the company unlimited code shares with no restrictions with any airline. 777's at SkyWest because hey, if that's how they want to run the airline. AF/KLM balance set to 0% for us. That way, they can "run the airline" right? :roll eyes:
We are the ones who run the airline WRT pilots the company uses. All of it, and then we allow exceptions. The AS code share abuse was an unwarranted excessive exception and its time to rein it in.
Again, by "what's happening in SEA and at AK" you keep implying that the deal is ending for sure, forever and ever. Great. But why then would the company flat out refuse to even rein in a small portion of their previous high water mark? I'm not talking about forcing the instant complete cancellation of every seat. I'm just referring to protecting say, half, of the market based gains we've made. That would have been a great gesture that would have cost zero dollars now or in the future.
The entire code share deal is 100% iron clad for sure going away right?
I mean, there's no way we'll be in a "gee we didn't think they'd do that" situation down the road? Right?
