That's not really the goal however, is it? Matching SQ isn't realistic. Being competent and reasonably competitive is probably good enough.
This is Jeff from Texas talking not some international leader in airline culture.
Which is why I was surprised to hear talk of using domestic to feed international. The first time I've heard something that is NOT smallball Colgan RJ speak.

How he expects to build up international capability when he's wasting Cap Ex on domestic upgrades is TBD.

Slashing MP won't help this out either.
