The gap is roughly 12% in 2014. 13% in 2019.
Domestic numbers in June of 2015 were 61.8m. If you avg 2m a day, we hit 60m this month.
So we are domestically at about 2015 numbers. 2.2m/day gives is 2016 numbers. It was about 2016 that no carrier could keep up with demand right and hiring started picking up? Then when that merged with 2018 retirements increasing exponentially, demand was hard to keep up with. So we aren’t that far off from that again, even if international doesn’t pickup.
2019 June was 76.7m/m or 2.5m/d. So domestically speaking, we are 80% of 2019…..if all of our 2m/d is domestic. but I don’t know how much of the 2m/d now is international.
