We do not have to color in the lines because that is what is expected. We have at least a three year jump on these guys in regard to mergers and the synergies created. That must and will come in to play in section six.
Valid point, I just am already thinking of the "well, that rate will make us uncompetitive..." that will occur in 2012 when in reality it might not. There is nothing wrong with being very highly paid at the airline that exceeds expectations and its competition.
It'll be interesting to see how much scope costs APA if they hold.
