Delta has some built in advantages, that we do not have. Their JV language is much more advantageous relative to us, for profitability. Yes, they have more Captains to airplane ratio, but we have many more wide body airplanes than they do. Obviously their contract language with regard to profit sharing is better than ours based on their business plan. But probably the biggest advantage that they have, has nothing to do with their pilots. They only have two unionized work groups. Their pilots and dispatchers. That’s it!!!

All of which I would not trade for relaxation of scope. I’m ok with more wide bodies and less profit sharing.
