Stagnation may now be normal - but it sure as hell aint new. In the late summer of 2000 when the 727 guys were displaced out of LAX I was forecast to be about 115 out of about 150 on the SLC 73NB on the projected category list.

10 years later I am at a slightly higher % on the LAX 73NB. I would say that pretty much qualifies as 10 years of stagnation. A lost decade etc. Need I continue?

Oh well - at least I can once again drive to work.
