How about we move on to allowing capital to move where it can best be used - something called economics if I recall...
Its explained in the review that came out a couple of years ago.
Not it sure what your point on profits/loss is. Doesn't strike me as different to metal neutral revenue sharing that LH/UA/AC, AF/KL/DL, AA/BA engage in.
This change aligns with "economics" - it lets everyone allocate their capital to where they think it can best be user.
