My objective is to realistically look at the landscape, economy, other airlines, and craft a reasonable opener that puts us at the top of the industry, whatever that might be, ignoring the past. I suspect that's about what the current team will do too; hence my desire to put you and Cap'n Crunch in charge. Your guys view is to demand 73% (at least) regardless of the situation, tell them those are our demands, tell them just to raise ticket prices and pay it, and sit back and watch them cave.
Any one who can guarantee me 73% by doing nothing more than demanding it, is the guy I want in the job! I could use the money.
