Agreed that you can't kneejerk your way around flight schedules with the daily ups and downs in commodity markets. However, I do believe that part of the cuts were due to panic that we were going to see $150-$200 a barrel for the long term. We are now seeing that a lot of the run-up was due to a fair amount of speculation and that supply will be okay. Legislation is going to open up new markets domestically and the overall perception is that oil is going to come back down to more sustainable levels.

That said, none of us on this board (well okay, RASM Guy excluded) see the route specific spreadsheets. However, I am still shocked that AS does not offer service to arguably the second most sought after golf vacation destination on the West Coast (Pebble Beach #1).
