Wish there was a breakdown between East Asia and the South Pacific, i.e. PPT/AKL/BNE/SYD/MEL. Wonder how much of that weakness is in the South Pacific related to the weak Australian and New Zealand Dollars and the Yen is also very weak for Japan POS while Americans haven't embraced year-round travel to the country unlike Europe. Considering all that extra capacity to Latin America, pretty strong Quarter, although I caution that the end of the quarter is the beginning of the high season. Europe is going strong yearlong and hopefully those extra 787s coming this year can translate to UA operating more widebodies to Europe year-round or close to year-round. The TATL Europe travel season just keeps getting longer and longer. Despite domestic pressure and continual growth, those additional ASMs only resulted in flat yields.
