I wouldn't be surprised to see this doing the new JFK-EZE or the ATL-EZE runs. Perhaps some African flying could be in for some 777 service as well. I would rather see them reduce frequency and protect profits than fly a half full 777 to Shanghai and claim to have daily service. While I was a little surprised to see the reduction in service, I have to say this is what I love about our Network guys. They think like a cold day trader when it comes to making money. If a route may underperform in a given time period, they pull the plug or reduce frequency to go somewhere else to make money. If you don't think that's not how the game should be played, we may very well be the only legacy to make a profit this quarter. That should speak volumes for how we are positioned.
Having met our network/revenue folks, I can say without qualification that they are the first set I've ever had any faith in. They seem pretty sharp. I hope we can keep them or some of their level for years to come. You don't evaluate whether an AC is making money doing what it's doing, but rather whether it could make more money doing something else.

Walking around the training department for the last month and talking to some folks there the number that was being tossed around was 150 or so by the end of the year.
