Not sure about that. The stock is trading below its guidance because of oil, and the fact that 2011 is going to be a lot flatter than 2010.

It should hold its own. The market is still waiting to see the shakeout of the other merger(s) that are in progress. RA talks about future consolidation, and capacity constraint, but the constant downward pressure we see on the sector should make one realize that the market does not beleive that we can maintain our constraint.

I'm glad I was able to hear RA's perspective on 2010 and what 2011 holds.

I did not like his statement about quickly retiring fuel inefficient paid for aircraft if oil prices continue to go up. He also seemed a bit out of touch with the poor quality of the product. Hopefully it improves this year.
The rest of it was encouraging.

Well there's the difference. I don't have a smart phone. While I liked the features of iCrewMax on my laptop, I saw the added benefit being offset by the slower performance.
