While it took some time for regionals to shrink, I would expect the ULCC shrinkage to be accelerated.
But I'm only looking at the trends and forecasting based on current trends. It's possible things could change, but I don't see anything on the horizon that will change the trajectory.
Revisit this subject at the end of the summer. I'll be curious to see how worn out you are - it'll be profitable for you, but it'll be a brutal summer.
