Sounds like -2 to -4% capacity, I think, for the year. Domestic -1 to -3% and Int'l -3 to -5%, mostly due to TransAtlantic off peak reductions. I think this is for the year, but Bastian was just talking Q1 2013. Anyone else hear the same?

no way, we're supposed to grow.

because if you keep up this capacity shrinkage then you could start getting rid of some mainline airframes, like the 88, and still be in compliance with the ratio once DCI goes down to 450 jets.

One analyst, "you'll have a bill for massive re-fleeting - what are you doing about it?" RA - "There's a glut of narrow bodies available for purchase at a substantial discount." I think RA is answering very well.

Love this attitude.

Company: "Hey, sorry, but you're furloughed."

Johnson29: "Fantastic! Great opportunity to get to know some fellow hobos!"

Glad others are noticing. He made a switch within the last year to this kind of rhetoric.

Analyst: "Capacity growth from LCC's - how do legacies deal with this?"

RA: "Capital Markets won't finance those airlines. Brent is $110/barrel. The market has changed."
