Alaska: +8%, Spirit: +6%, JetBlue: +17%.

Why is United earning less than these peers? If Kirby doesn't do retro that's understandable. That's not normally done in the LCC segment of the industry. Our NB rates should be within a couple of percent of Spirit at worst. JB is probably unsustainable. I understand that. But this is ridiculous.
