For the answer to be correct, the airlines must have qualified as a legacy airline, they must have been operating in February of 1998, and they must have been huge. That was what the statement I was asking about stated. Since there are currently 5 legacy airlines left, huge must mean that they were bigger than Alaska and Hawaiian airlines are, since they didn't qualify as a huge legacy today.
