You admit that they latest full year data you have is from 2012 and claim that, besides Hawaiian, we are the least efficient. But, in 2012 the airline landscape was completely different than it is now. American had furloughs on the street and hadn't even announced a plan to merge with US Airways.

It's not the same American, it won't be the same Southwest, and I won't even get into what I'm hearing has been going on over at United.

So, I guess I'm asking, how is it that you are comparing our efficiency with airlines that are completely different than what they were in 2012?

I believe whatever data you are using to make that claim is obsolete.
