Ok... 62.9% is not a great load factor, but it is a significant improvement from the previous LF numbers. Also, it is relatively close to other majors (Southwest 63.3%, American 72.2%, Continental 74.4%, etc...), considering it is the 9th month of operation and the majority of vacation travel really doesn't happen until March. Just like any other figure, you can read what you want into it... I think it is good considering the numbers are improving with March expected to be even better.
