Bozo the pilot

So you're angry that they havent made the investment?
Because IF they do, you realize theyll wanna go ahead and have a B6 plane fly it.
Ill state it this way, they only choose to codeshare flights that they ,AT THIS TIME, do not have the ability to fly.
We can argue corporate planning all day long, but as far as codesharing goes, this is the reason they do it.
Do you know why airlines codeshare domestically?

He seems to ignore this point.

This is what you and BD are mic dropping over?
The "old" CFO?
Ask yourself this question Hill,
If Robin gets the ability to fly to Europe, will he take 1% and codeshare, or take the full fare?
Btw, Im ignoring nothing- you're the guy quoting old executives.

Love the Dude.
And this is just batting practice.

But it is still a legit point. It’s not hard to fly to Hawaii or get stops. We have the ability to fly a lot of places but instead they choose not to

PasserOGas

Oh, so you are arguing that code shares aren't profitable. I guess we don't need scope at all then.

If that is the case what is making you vote yes? The sub par work rules or industry trailing pay and profit sharing?

Bluedriver

Nope Bozo, I'm not going to let you move the goalposts like that.

You said when B6 CAN fly those routes we codeshare, they will. You later changed it to, you're "guessing" they will.

The problem is they CHOSE to be unable. So, really, they ARE able, but choose not to do it.

It's exactly like this, you say to wife, sex me.

She says, I can't.

You say, what do you mean you can't?

She says I'm choosing to be unable, I'll let you know when I choose to be "can".

The difference between you and me is I understand codesharing and airlinering 125%, and have been told, face to face, man to man, by Bluejet's prior Chief Financial Officer what the Corps overall trans-oceanic philosophy is:

"We prefer to codeshare because it is a low-cost, low-risk way to service those trans-oceanic destinations without investing in the expensive capital intensive resources required to do it ourselves".

Bozo the pilot

Okay then argue THAT. But what BD and now you are saying is that B6 owes it to us to get approved for ETOPS and thats nuts.
If approved, do you think robin will go for the 99 or the 1?

Do you understand this point on codeshares Hill?
Im trying to paint this as simple as possible. Dont know why you'd hitch your wagon to BD?!
