How do you square your assertion of decreased outsourcing with this:
Easily. I use September 30, 2010 data, not 2009 data. The statistics aren't selective. They're fact. The number of DCI hulls is down substantially, and in a greater percentage than the decline in mainline. DCI ASM's are down 3% (10Q), and DCI stage length is shrinking (OAG). While mainline block hours did shrink domestically in 2008/2009, that flying is returning more rapidly due to the merger and economic recovery. DCI's block hours are declining.
Why do you have trouble with mainline growing vis a vis DCI?
