I planned on repeating my 100/-5/-5/-5, not losing forever

I'm also still waiting to hear what "the U.S. carrier with the longest period of profitability since 9/11 and the shortest period of losses since 9/11," actually means. I still think that SouthWest (the folks down in DAL that I referenced previously) might challenge that notion, though I admit I don't have hard numbers to back it up.
