So, I hope we get some of those additional frequencies the DOT is allocating. I know 2015 is a bit away, but more Brazil flying is always good.
I think our management team is counting on the bilateral agreement to be fully liberalized by 2015 which would give full open skies between the two countries. Plus, all the a$$ kissing we have done with the Brazilians should/better help us with the route awards. And I agree, more Brazil is always good.
