Lets not mince what I am trying to say.

Point to my rant is that if you think that JAL is not a good deal for us, then you are mistaken. Securing this deal gets you closer to our goals than doing everything we can to prevent it.
I am still the guy that wants to keep DALPA and the company accountable. I am just siding with the need to make this deal happen. Not at any cost, but more a long the lines that we do not need to work at preventing it.

Our raise costs the company 90 million this year. We have a large multiplier. Our overall costs are exasperated by our size. That is the truth.
I personally feel that we could rework section 23 and help three out right now but like I have said many do not want to open section 6.

People need to realize that we are not going to get what we want if we do not see a modification of this business model. It will not survive till 2015 if changes are not made.

I could get it to our seat pricing modeling etc, but it really does not matter. We need to be able to carry passengers at a set margin with the capacity we have. Until then we will continue to dump seats at the last minute.
