But like so many things, it can come down to "interpretation".
Is "restoration" simply back to the dollar amounts in C2K,
not adjusted for inflation?
Does "restoration" include significant scope recapture, so that we fly at least everything as big as the smallest DC-9 that DL/NW used to?
How can anything be "restored" if the end result is below what a darling profitable low cost carrier has?
