This is a thread discussing WN's 1Q numbers, right?

not to be confused with this....700UW said:
yes, Kev, the thread is about 1Q numbers.... we are all in agreement about the capacity part but there seems to be a little resistance from some to admit the part about reduced number of trips... and no one other than me has been able to speak to the implications of that number....Kev3188 said:
perhaps in your optimism and wisdom, you can provide insight.
whatcha think?

and neither one of you can tell us what it really means that WN is flying fewer trips.

and here is the real kicker for 1st quarter RASM.
B6 RASM was down a whopping 8 per cent even though traffic was flat on higher capacity.

this is by far the weakest RASM performance among US airlines that have reported.

it is an industry comparison.
What WN or any other carrier does is meaningless without knowing how they did relative to other carriers.
Excluding the metric of trips flown, WN's traffic and RASM growth is in line with the industry and certainly better off than B6.

oh please.
"I raised my leg on this fire hydrant. No one else better come any where near."
This is a discussion forum. If you want to talk and have no one else interfere, start your own blog.
You started a discussion about March traffic results and that is exactly what has been discussed.
No statistic has any meaning without context.
and, yes, I do agree after seeing the rest of the industry that WN is generating average to above average traffic results. absent any comparison with the rest of the industry, no one could have come to a realistic conclusion of how WN did or did not do. You included.
