Which is exactly why it is my contention that AMR will likely have to get it another (more painful) way and if they do, they'll want (and get) greater relief from current limits. AA cannot survive without feed and that is immutable fact. AMR cannot continue with the current feed system indefinately, at least not profitably or competitively and that is also immutable fact.

The APA has yet to present any viable options to overcome the above, except a blanket statement that, "all flying is ours", which they cannot even dissect the meaning of for their own membership. A large portion of that flying, is flying their membership had no interest (which is why we do it in the first place) in and I think still doesn't unless maybe they get AA pay/schedules/pension which will not happen.

Emotion it may be then and that's unfortunate.
