I don't care what I fly. If long haul loses money I want our JV partners to lose the money, not us. Wanting to fly big airplanes is just a form of SJS.

The more money the company makes the more we can be paid. If the company doesn't make money, over a long enough time period, we will cease to get paid at all.

A lot of JV stuff is compromise. The other countries want their share of the flying as well.
