Nice thoughts VS1711, but have you considered that if there are salaried people in AAI with vested interests in Airborne then they will actively seek to drive as much revenue through Airborne as possible even if they know there's a risk to the firm as a whole?
This is particularly true if AAI is, as many say it is, in decline. If I were in that position with a near monopoly position on a client in terminal decline, and with no other clients or real prospects of getting any, I'd milk that cash cow for all it was worth while I could. It's a bit of a conspiracy theory, but not implausible is it?
