You can't be serious about 50% when it's with a JV that we own as much as 49%, can you?!? 50% would be for an equal partner, and that isn't the case with any of them. We should get 50% as the baseline and then a portion of the remainder commensurate with our ownership stake. And for those that say, "what about slots, etc.?" that is for management to solve, or fork over all of the revenue to a general fund paid out to pilots the same way we do profit sharing. It should wipe out any financial incentive or gain for the company to allow flying by JVs instead of our own metal and people not commensurate with our ownership stake.
