DALPA and the company negotiated for an experiment to try a MCO satellite base on our last contract with a whole lot of stipulations to placate those worried about flying dilution. Before the experiment could even be tried, the whining was so loud from existing bases that DALPA informed the company that it cancelled the "experiment" before it even could happen.
