OK that was funnier.

Maybe. Bring it. Let them severely overpay for AS, suddenly watch all that free feed revenue get DUMPED and force us and AA/US to compete which will force them to abandon marketshare. We won't code with them, we will 100% HAVE to overlap some of that and they will absolutely have to draw down capacity. They aren't immortal anymore. I really hope they buy them, but I doubt they will. Oh and I don't see SWAPA bending over for Horizon either.

At 1.5 degrees you strike the tail. I think VREF in a no slat/no flap is 320.
