Let's see your source. I'm using the Bureau of Transportation Statistics:

http://www.bts.gov/press_releases/20...bts017_03.html

Southwest: 6,541,247 (down 1% from year earlier)
Delta: 6,337,258 (down 10% from year earlier)
American: 6,218,797 (down 7% from year earlier)

However, the data do not include traffic of the major carriers' code-share affiliates. Are you including these?
