I agree with the order of business. For the record, I'm not yet seeing those fare sales in my markets where UA heavily dominates, but I'm sure they'll come eventually.

The domestic market definitely lost a lot of competitiveness after the mergers.

So this I won't agree with, but won't discuss further due to the off-topic nature.
