Comair Confusion

I still can't work out why Comair competes with itself; many of the routes flow by BA Comair are flown by kalula as well, both Comair operations. Often parking next to each other and operating at similar times. Unless it is a way of sticking it to BA, which would seem strange as without the BA franchise Comair would not be what it is today. Also when the 737-400’s arrived from BA UK some time ago they where used as 727 replacements and operated on the BA franchise routes, saved on having to paint them anyway. Now they are painted in the colours of and operated by kalula, a big fanfare about 300’s coming with no mention of the fanfare that was made when the 400’s arrived ages ago. All the franchise routes use the 200’s at the moment. Some creative accounting going on perhaps…………
