Or that they'd want to be careful in a year where a lot of their customers are likely nervous about the impact of the merger for them. Were they purely driven by mathematical perfection? Did they want to test the response from elites?
Seems to me that its not about us. Its passifying CO plats who are in limbo. Frankly they should just keep MP as it is and tell the 75k CO "top tier" to piss-off. they are all hub captives where are they gonna go?? they've been riding the gravy train too long. Sheesh DEQM = 37.5 k for top tier ?? give me a break. yet it seems they want to ram nonepass down our throats.
