Four whales is a lot of lift though. How much is still in the mod line from Sept til next summer? I thought everything was pretty much finished up.

I just can't see how this won't result in even more Atlantic reductions for next summer resulting in a smaller peak season. Plus cutting a quarter of the already small 747 fleet makes the writing on the wall for its early demise even more obvious. RFP's for anything at this point will take years to materalize.

The big story IMO isn't just the 4 whales. Its whatever is next that we don't know about, but you know they know about.
