This CC was IMO was about manufacturing news the investor community views as good news. We are out of good news until the restyling takes effect and other revenue and cost initiatives start to drive CASM down or at least flatter.
One other thing that stood out was the company or analyst remarked that we may be over staffed? Did I hear that correctly? Our CFO wanted to take that offline but remarked that we have flexibility with staffing though bid divisors.
We are not overstaffed and any AIP will have to fix allocation and distribution or possible fail so I read that as a "AIP in 2017" just went poof. Add this to Robin's goal of highest margins within our peer set or his statement that LCC should drive the highest margins for investors and I think we can begin to see the "box" he has given his NC to work with.
We will be in a labor dispute in 2018 and of course that is IMO!
