We got ORD-CDG to keep the JV ESK's relatively equal (With in the limits of the JV) but the goal was to have more connecting traffic out of CDG.
You may also see more International Cuts announced for this fall in the next few weeks.
So where does that leve us? A stagnant domestic fleet "maybe" getting as many 90's as 9's are leaving, and significant culling of international. Do we have a plan or are we really thinking we can shrink to prosperity by abandoning marketshare and letting every third world airline and day 1 start up run amuck and just hoping our retirements absorb the drawdown as we fade away?
