No, when it comes to Atlantic Basin tropical systems, they do revert to Greek letters when the full list is exhausted. This has yet to happen although it's becoming obvious it will need to happen this year. Only in some regions of the Pacific do they cycle names from one list to the next where there's an abundance of systems each year.

In any event, returning to topic, any word on how Katrina's impact on fuel is impacting CO directly ...and how CO is dealing with fuel costs differently from the other carriers?
