the same thing that nudges the moving average up will nudge it back down once we see Tuesday-Wed-Thur data come in
August 25-ish school will start or be close to starting virtually or physically in most parts of country. Maybe the "last weekend of summer" we pierce the 30% level

note we do not know if these are full fare tickets or $29 super saver specials.

The first and third comment above are two months apart.
The 7-day rolling-average on the date of the first comment was 25.5%, and today it is 32%.
Both our 7-day rolling-average % and our 7-day rolling-average number of passengers are higher today than they were at any time in August, or July, or June or since the start of the lockdowns.
This is even with September historically being one of the weakest months in terms of total number of passengers.
I understand being realistic, but there is no reason to diminish progress even if it is incremental.
