A LOT depends on what we do now to prepare for when the market comes back. Are we gonna be the same ol F9 (treat pax like sh!t) or something else? I would say, if we don't change our model significantly within the next 12 months (which includes legacy rates), then maybe I'll start to be concerned.
Legacy rates are a pipe dream. You flat out don’t pull the same revenue, you got nothing that goes over the Atlantic, or the Pacific, or a domestic business class seat, with internet, cocktails, or food. Hell, you can get a premium product on a RJ now a days, and charge your phone!
