All we'd have to is pay the bribe-uh, I mean, make the fairly priced market based infrastructure investment for the local community, and we could get the gate space we need.
The going rate for big city shakedow-uh, I mean airport improvement development commissions, is about a quarter billion per gate (because things really cost that much, yes they do) but first we have to pay 11B to have the same effect on stock price as if we didn't pay 11B, and then after that we'll have to do the same with many many more billions. But after that, perhaps there can be a proper investment in the needed JV partner facilities.
