I don't see it as that. It is a simple reality that TCON is a premium market xSFO and flying 1-2x day on aircraft which lack a premium product (yes, I know that there is a cabin marketed as "F") won't cut it. Thus, to repeat: either one accepts AS for what it is as a regional niche player with s few tentacles or as the poor cousin of the legacies. The former is likely profitable. The latter is doomed.
