I'll believe this when I see it. I could believe 50 and maybe 55 but 67?  I sure hope so, but not likely this year.

Still setting those records.  87.4% load factor. No wonder we can't fly anywhere non-rev.  With these kind of numbers for the past several Quarters, there is no reason we shouldn't have a good contract. $ years is waaaaayyyy too long...
