Of course we do. But... you also need to realize that the landscape has changed. Significantly. Unless the sand fleas are allowed to fly within our borders, and are allowed to throw thousands of seats into our markets, there is discipline among all the US carriers. That did not exist in any of the time frames you mentioned. It is working. Everybody is making money. Another People's Express in the guise of M R Rats will change all that, and make no mistake, our government would love nothing better. The first shot was fired in abu dhabi.
