Keep in mind that as the Narita operation has wound down we have added a lot of point to point from SEA. Overall Pacific block hours are up substantially since the merger. The numbers are available on the DALPA website. In 07/08 we had about 185,000 hours of Pacific flying. In 2014 it is over 230,000.
