We can’t be compared to Alaska, Spirit, Southwest, JetBlue, or any other carriers other than Delta and American. The other carriers don’t fly any true international flying. We fly a lot of it!!! That changes the staffing matrix considerably. Especially since the international market is likely to lag in recovery compared to domestic. In fact, Delta and American have a bigger domestic footprint than we do. So their recovery will be different than ours.
