That is getting in to trade secret data that is protected by NDA. I am sure if can be data mined but the only public data you will get is city pairs, frequency and what is reported to the government on the 8 and 10-K's.

As I have stated, we are close or at the upper limit on allowable 70/76 seat airframes. This phenomenon that you see will no longer be allowed to occur without further scope sales. They can still replace 70 with 76 seat jets as our size allows, but they cannot go above the 255 total.

Pilot numbers have gone done, but depending on the NPRM they count may spike. That depends on a lot. Based upon current staffing models the number of pilots at DCI is going down. Go look at the airline data pages on this site.

ASM's are reported and as you say have gone up.

Total block hrs peaked at around 63% and have declined from that high water mark. I do not have the specific number in front of me but my guess is that it is in the mid to love 50's. Just a guess though.

I do not have public passenger data, and have not data mined number of seats and number of city pairs. It can be done though. I like you look at block hrs and airframes.

You know where I stand on scope, and it is my guess that another opportunity will present itself when the rest rules change the staffing requirements at these airlines and the CASM goes up even more. There will probably be a urge to put more seats in these jets due to these costs, and I am sure I know what our answer will be. Like I have said, I have no fear that our reps will do the correct thing, and that National will back our decision because frankly there is no way they cannot. We have leverage at national and frankly there is nothing in the by-laws that prohibit it.

On a greater level if I were ALPA President I would want more mainline pilots because they provide more money per pilot. It works in their best interest as well.
