Well, I was way off about aircraft orders. However, the international numbers didn't look good. The Latin American numbers were actually worse than the Asian numbers. Latin America had a 12.6% passenger revenue decrease in spite of a 10.5% increase in ASMs.
Asia had an 8.6% revenue decrease on flat ASMs.
Atlantic was better with a 3.2% revenue decrease on a .5% reduction in ASMs.
There was also a RASM decline domestically.
The good news is that consolidated CASM (including special charges, third-party business expenses, fuel and profit sharing) declined by 10 percent to offset the RASM decline.

... especially if the car was given to them by the company. If the company gave everyone a sports car, they'd complain about how unsafe the car was. If the company gave everyone a Volvo, those same people would complain about how boring the car was. You can count on those same people like clockwork.
