As I said, this is one of my working theories. I don't believe Moxy is what David has said it is.

So here is a question. Wall St hates growth or at least from JetBlue if they had their way we wouldn’t grow at all. (I know it’s because growth costs money and adds capacity and all that) could this be a way to do it on the cheap and away from Wall St?

It’s an interesting theory especially with DN and RH still talking.
