I wonder how many companies would refuse if offered the perceived benefits of their competitors.

From what I can see companies are only interested in taking everthing which is for their benefit whilst seeking to deny their competitors of it; ultimately wanting to gain a monopolistic position in their market, I am sure this is as much the end game for the ME3 as it is for BA/AA.

Unfortunately, as witnessed on here, a large proportion of their customer base also thinks the same way and seems to want everything to go in their favour.
