No I think it means AS starts to consider a future without bankruptcy and oblivion. All of the fare boosts and cuts have been necessary just to get the revenue to chase oil prices. If oil stabilizes or drops some, maybe the revenue will start to equal costs, and the airline business model may become viable again--it certainly hasn't been the last six months or so.
