It's unclear as to whether or not, this includes UA Express? It certainly wouldn't surprise me with what UA has farmed out to UAX. (It might be that I'm just accustomed to reading the CO reports that separate mainline from regional....is such a separation typical? or just something CO does?)

Domestic capacity is down 10.7% from last year, and revenue traffic down 12.4%.

It's the wave of the future.
