I’m not quite sure what type of language your were expecting either. The ability to domestic code share is normal and the argument supports the finances. If Jetblue can make money on it they will. Intra-west coast flying is not nearly as lucrative as east coast/Carib/LA. If you look at SEA to SFO/LAX count the number of flights and frequency. It’s an extremely competitive market to fly with the frequency we did. The code share explanation of dollars and cents it factual so don’t me concerned about that little detail. The ****ty healthcare, UTO and some others are much greater concern.
I'm not even saying vote NO. I may not. But don't tell me as so many guys do that we are "protected".
So sound as if you agree with me more than anything, that we may well codeshare intra-westcoast (no premium gates, very saturated/competitive market).
But connecting onto someone else's west coast network is less oganic growth for us and we have lots of guys who live west and believed in the fairytale that we had a west coast plan for them "someday".
Otherwise, yeah, not the end of the world, just more "less growth".
Carry on.
