These numbers aren't really that bad relative to other recent airline mergers at similar stages of integration.

DL/NW - 70.2% and 69.9% in months 5, 6 post-reservations cutover
US/HP - Didn't get back above 70% for 6 months after their disastrous cutover (got as low as 55%)

Clearly it's bad and needs to get better quickly but it's pretty much par for the course...
