They can make the same amount of money by offering less flights, and they'll look better in terms of DOT performance too. It's a win win.

I think the DOT called them out on their bull**** which is why you are seeing more accurate numbers from them now.

What the heck? Every airline is claiming schedule integrity. But things are going fairly smoothly. I geek like something more is at play. Closed door meetings with the DOT prompt airlines to fear delays and or meltdowns.

Demand is sky high right now, across the industry cuts have me a little puzzled
