As we announced last month, starting in September we are taking a net 10 points of capacity out of the consolidated system on a year-over-year basis, with the reductions weighted heavily towards the international network. We are pulling 20% of the capacity out of the Transatlantic and 12% out of the Pacific. We’re taking the necessary actions to right-size capacity to demand while still seeking opportunities to selectively expand our network through growth markets as we look to hook up our newly merged network.

In terms of capacity guidance for the September quarter, we expect system capacity to be down 5% year over year with consolidated domestic capacity down three to four points and consolidated international capacity down six to seven points.

For the full year, we expect system capacity to be down between seven and nine points with consolidated domestic capacity down eight to 10 points and our consolidated international capacity down seven to nine points.
