If Republic didn't increase by 4% for the summer and subsequently decreased, by say 5%, that's a 9% hit to the bottom line due to not collecting those fees per departure. Management has said they will continue to reduce block hours throughout the year. It's not just a summer time thing, but summer time has exacerbated the losses.
