Great analysis. I read the TA from cover to cover and thought I had pretty much understood it but your analysis brought so much more to light. I've been a no from the beginning but now I'm a strong no.
Reference the popular comment about hotels: can't remember where we were but we made it out to the hotel pickup area and a driver from a pretty nice hotel (can't remember the name) got out thinking we were his crew. Right behind us was a Skywest or Republic crew that got in the van. We were waiting for a Laquinta van. I hoped they would be long out of sight before the laquinta van pulled up. Nope. Here came the worn out van to pick us up. It was rather embarrassing. Felt like I was getting on the short bus when I was in school.
