Overall unit passenger revenue declined 3.3% for domestic and 7.1% for international. Those kinds of unit revenue declines are not sustainable and will only lead further to DLs margin advantage (which we actually saw expand this quarter). What that practically means is that DL is making more revenue and profit on less flying than UA. I will be curious to see what management says about these decreasing PRASM numbers and any potential capacity adjustments.
