They have seen what a mess they create when they try to run the airline without adequate staffing so we will likely take a more measured approach to adding back lost capacity. Asia still remains a tough region, especially with China. But we still have a sizable amount (for us) of wide body capacity coming in the form of more A339s and A359s and they acquired those aircraft (especially the LATAM 350s) for a reason, so Id guess they have plans for them. Next summer will be telling.
Don't forget their plan to start running the Lion Air 737s without first class or wifi on sub-500 mile routes of out ATL next year. Just wait until those tails get routed to do transcons for "operational necessity"...
