Perhaps elite saturation may not occur after all.

Lightest schedules since 2001.

Here's to hoping for a turnaround.
Unfortunately Elite saturation is completely tied to capacity and not overall trends anymore. The AL's are cutting without hesitation which means the calculation that determines elite saturation can actually get worse with fewer flights. I agree though...best way to beat saturation is for the AL to be ADDING capacity so I join you in the hope of a turn-around in the economy.
