Don't have any clue. Barring any significant structural change the trigger is the US Unemployment numbers. For people to purchase our service, they need jobs. I figure we have to see an improvement of 1 to 2% for a turn around and 4% to see any significant growth / restoration.
One aspect of this displacement was getting people in position to furlough and we must admit, the timing of displacements, training, seasonal flying adjustments and DC9 retirements are uncanny.
