It was depressing last thursday looking at the remote lot behind the trailers. There were 12 aircraft out there on a Thursday + 6 at the hanger in CVG. On Friday morning there were 20 Comair aircraft in remote and 5 at the hanger. Both weekdays.

Our loads last week were horrible. People are trying to make the argument that we are going into a slow season. I agree. Kids are back in school and things usually slow down about now until just before Thanksgiving. Now look at it this way. Almost every airline in the country has started cutbacks in August or September anywhere between 10 and 15%. So to see such light loads when we are operating without a quarter of our fleet is scary.

My last three day trip had no more than 52 folks on the 900 and 36 on the 70.
