No revenue sharing, no flight coordinating, no frequent flier mile sharing. There is a decent chance that American will do that just to keep the slots off the open market and still have a partner in JFK. Then with the Spirit merger we take down all their one off flying and fill back in at FLL, MCO, EWR, BOS.
