Members should ask themselves these questions in deciding this issue: When it comes to saving money, would you rather have two people competing or one for your business? When it comes to protecting the fleet, the ability to fly, would you rather rely upon one company or two to keep the fleet flying? When it comes to competition, should you presume that competition works or presume that it shouldn't? To save money, to protect the fleet, to promote competition, we should oppose this amendment.
