Here's how capacity constraint works in the DAL AS Enhanced Marketing Agreement:
  • Alaska Airlines reported a 10.4% increase in traffic on a 7.2% increase in capacity
  • Delta reported a 0.9% decrease in traffic on a 2.2% decrease in capacity
I'll break it out, for those who say we have Intl and Domestic, but the conclusion is the same:
  • Domestic traffic increased 0.5% year over year on a 3.3% decrease in capacity. The domestic load factor increased 3.2 points to 83%.
  • International traffic decreased 2.8% year over year on a 0.6% decrease in capacity, and the load factor decreased 2.0 points to 84.5%.

As for the RJ "pulldown", compared to our Domestic mainline operation:
  • Mainline RPM Flat
  • Regional RPM +2.3%
  • Mainline ASM -3.8%
  • Regional ASM -1.5%
