Go back a few more days and you see 102,000 on April 13 then back down to 87,000 the 14th. Look at last year and you’ll see jumps of up to +-500,000 people day to day. We’re still at like 5% of the load factor we were at last year.

On 4/20 the number reported by the TSA was 4.407% of the same day last year. On 4/24 the reported number was 4.896% what last year was. We have gained 0.489% in 4 days, yet the total industry traffic isn’t even enough to support one airline.

Uh.... 128,000 isn’t Avogadro’s number or anything, but by no stretch of the imagination is it statistically insignificant. And today was the highest number in three weeks. The trend is definitely your friend.
