Don't get me wrong. I'd love to see us get more flying. But I'd also rather not work for the "stupidest competitor" that gets everybodies yields down.
Understand. Just seems like we measure "load factors" as the primary statistic these days.
And you're right of course on the HNL base.
Oh, what happened to Quangzou in China? That was announced for spring as I recall. Seems we could be making a killing right now on China to HNL. (Sorry for the thread drift)
