Bidding on flying has no relation to the cost of ground servicing. The cost of ground servicing is well offset by the revenues of ground servicing. That is like saying a nice restaurant like Jeff Ruby's steakhouse will not survive against Texas Roadhouse because their costs are 75% higher, even though they charge 150% more. The company has made it clear, and is correct in doing so, that the revenues made from CS and Maint of other airlines will not subsidize our higher cost of flying. They are opposite sides of the company and 1 is not meant to carry the other. C.S. and Maint revenues do make the company more profitable, which makes us as a company better, and gives us a higher profit sharing payment.

And no.....I'm not a Riddle grad/intern?
