The drop was not in any way connected to that statement. Increasing labor costs, fuel costs from Middle East conflict and largest exposure to TLV traffic of any U.S. carrier were the reason for that drop. What has Kirby been incorrect about in the past? Seems like he’s been very good at navigating the changes in the industry.
