I prefer the passengers carried as my metric and while the TA reduces that count it is not nearly as much as departures.
The TA has some very good numbers and caps in it. I think the angst all boils down to whether you think the ALPA lawyers will actually defend it or of they'll behave like they did in the past "Aw, shucks, looks like y'all fooled us again"
