You then went off on tangents about Hayes' decision making.
But lets continue the debate, and keep it on the TA and not some conjecture about B6s future plans.
We have no control over the direction they take, all we can do is get the best deal available. Is this it?
No one is sure.
Another misdirect. We are discussing the adequacy of the scope protections in this TA as it relates to codesharing. We are on point. You said, our concerns regarding domestic and international codeshare protections, specifically the lack of those protections, is invalid because BlueJet will want the "whole dollar" and not "pennies on the dollar".
So, my questions, just two posts ago:
If we need not worry about domestic codesharing because we would want the "whole dollar", then why are we codesharing with Hawaiian airlines out of our hub in Long Beach when we have an aircraft capable of serving the route and CAN serve the route? Do we not want the "whole dollar"?
Also, why did Delta maintain an extensive domestic codeshare with Alaska for YEARS right up unitl Alaska refused to drop it's other large domestic codeshare with American? When Alaska refused Delta's ultimatum, Delta decided to build it's own Seattle hub. Didn't Delta want the "whole dollar" all those years?
