Also the weather in Q3 was a disaster everywhere….death by a thousand cuts. It wasn’t a single crowd strike week it was every damn day. Overall we handled it as well as we could have.
Competition flows where it thinks it can compete. SWA had 32 gates in ATL 12 years ago with plans for more gates and an aggressive expansion. They operate 18 underutilized gates in ATL today. JetBlue once planned a huge move into ATL. It quietly died.
