This is my recollection of the answer given and the person putting the question to them seem to agree (post77) . So either you think we are remembering this incorrectly or you have reason to believe they lied/did not tell us the whole picture at that meeting?
I was implying that AY employees are not restricted to flying AY only for duty. Of course it is their preferred choice, but other carriers can also be used if needed. I know of an AY employee who (very recently) flew on a competitor for a duty trip.
