What I do think is that we are close to appropriate staffing in NYC and the number of reserve lines will increase over fall and winter due to less marketing hours. You may not fly as much as you want...then again you might. You just don't know. I'll add one more thing...when winter weather threatens NYC most of our flights just cancel where other bases they deice and go.
