See if the chatter you guys are hearing can put two and two together on this!
My guess is lower domestic growth next year to please Wall Street. That would also be the reason we stopped hiring overnight. I think we were planning on 6% and they adjusted it to 3% so that we can keep prices high. I don't think it has anything to do with ALK. If we announced tomorrow we were merging it wouldn't make a difference on staffing until 2012.
