More like 1:1 NB growth would favor the foreign airlines compared to our fleet plans.
My take is that the basic premise was to protect widebody jobs and have a better (for us) resolution to violations which result in widebody jobs for those that would have been awarded them in the first place versus a literal handful of dollars spread across the group. I think Fangs is right that we wouldn't want a NB to have any opportunity to fulfill our end of the equation. I'm sure any effort to count NB flying only on the other side of that equation, but not on ours, was met with a brick wall. Same as it would have been by us in the reverse scenario.
