Together we can make a more compelling case to JAL. Together we can actually better feed Asia and the Atlantic. Together we need the DC-9's more than Compass, etc. ANC, unfortunately, is gone. You can argue that it was only axed post-merger if it makes you feel better, but I think the SLI hearings cast a different light.

Let's just be grateful we're not furloughing, and that we have some critical mass together.
