Only if no one else adds capacity. Industry wide capacity discipline happens about zero percent of the time in this industry. Look at SWA and JB after 9-11 as well as going forward as well as the VA order book, Emirate's US ambitions, etc. Where TF is all the revenue for all THAT capacity going to come from?
