It will be interesting to see how junior the Whale goes for future AEs if guys don't want to commute to reserve. Since there are no Block (Line) and Reserve distinction as we had and reserve percentages can vary throughout the year, it may be a QOL issue for some.

When RA says he wants to "build the network" it doesn't mean he plans to "grow the airline". With all the Code Shares, JVs and Alliances, I have my doubts on how much international growth we will have in the future. What incentive would there be to drop a fence if there are fewer slots to chase while having less pilots to compete over them?
