Well, we haven't seen a single MD-11 fly yet, so let's not count those chickens.
We have no idea how much freight is on the white network, unless you're getting some unique insight you're unwilling to share. We have no idea how much "Orange network" is on Purple tails. Could be some, all or none. Because, we really don't have a hard definition of what orange or bypass freight is. What we do know is that quite probably, a pallet could be in any or all of the Tricolor, from the time it is tendered to the time it is delivered.
The idea that you can sit there and see ASL 737s and continue to believe that the company doesn't outsource as much as it can strains credulity. I think they stopped their plans when it was obvious that was a plan when they wanted even more compliant scope, and the then NC had no plan to manage that part of the negotiation and TA1 failed in large measure to that.
And, you're rolling out the then NC justification, which was "They'll never do that." When the company is outsourcing our freight, every day, at considerable risk to our brand.
