So yes, it can be said we are up 9% instead of 14% year over year. Sounds pretty good but it is still an actual cut compared to the previous month. I would call it a 3.4% cut (assuming the monthly growth is exactly linear, which it isn’t but just for illustrative purposes)
And yes everything you said true about capacity being affected by size of airplane and stage lengths, not just block hours.
