I'm not challenging what you're saying, just trying to understand the end-game here: In what ways does it benefit mainline to keep an atrophied wholly-owned regional partner?
Is there some form of leverage in it over mainline pilots and/or regional partners?
Are their financial benefits (i.e. taxes, write-offs, debt, etc) to it?
Is it Ed Bastian's personal fetish to snuff out career aspirations of Endeavor employees???
