By lifting that restriction, they can, arguably, own 100% voting, although that won't go very well at all. If the foreign airlines owns, say, 65%, they can decide what routes to eliminate as well, probably, decide who stays and who goes. By having the cap at 25%, their vote can be overridden by those that own 75%. Randy, I think that’s the entire point.
