I don't think I can count that high, but I just heard Andesron commit to below GDP growth. And I heard Jamie Baker suggest competitors aren't playing along all that well. Makes me think this would be good for the stock, bad for growth.

It is shifting that we can all live with. He does not want overall ASM growth though. (Nominal 2-3% YOY max)

Capacity discipline is not going to help us. The low-cost carriers are going to expand as much as possible at our expense again. SWA is at the top of that list.

They will if they can make a profit. With everything being fairly equal it will not be as easy for them as it was last time.
