I'm just not buying the argument.
When DAL/NWA merged the fleet was 760ish airplanes. Today our fleet count is around 720. RASMs have increased too. Up until this year it was double digit YOY RASM increases.
My point being that it is possible to "shrink to profitability" but there is a limit. Based on the YOY RASM increases slowing down, DAL is approaching that point.
