The word through the grapevine is that 2016 will be a big year for international expansion (HOU & FLL international terminals), and so that's probably where the 600 for 2016 forecast is coming from.

I can't see "us" not doing them. Which is it WM? "Us" or "You guys!" Are you even remotely "all" in? Your future is tied to this place whether you like it or not. Good luck with your decisions.

BTW, I agree with you. Just don't ever expect me to do red eyes. Ain't happening.
