December Traffic Results

[Edited by me: ALK announced their numbers after I posted this so I added them in]

Most of the airlines have announced December traffic results, so here are the numbers:

ALK
ASM's +4.2%
RPM's +8.6%
L/F +4.3%

AMR
ASM's +4.9%
RPM's +6.1%
L/F +0.9%

AWA
ASM's +7.3%
RPM's +8.3%
L/F +0.7%

CAL
ASM's +6.1%
RPM's +6.5%
L/F +0.3%

DAL
ASM's +6.9%
RPM's +4.3%
L/F -1.7% (approximate)

LUV
ASM's +12.2%
RPM's +10.3%
L/F -1.1%

NWA
ASM's +7.6%
RPM's +7.7%
L/F +0.1%

USA
ASM's +0.2%
RPM's -2.8%
L/F -2.2%

UAL
ASM's +3.2%
RPM's +2.3%
L/F -0.7%

I've tried to make this a mainline to mainline comparison. Delta's L/F change is approximate because they give system (including express feed) and break mainline down by region (domestic, LA, Atlantic, Pacific) without giving an overall mainline-only number.
