Sorry, not trying to rain on anyones parade but maybe some DAL guys on here could help with the inside story.
Probably because we are increasing international capacity by 20%. Keep in mind that Int'l is a 3 or 4 pilot operation versus 2 per rotation.
We are at 40% international of total capacity currently, aiming for 51% when Hauenstein's current plan is implemented.
FWIW.
