Ah, it's time for the VX nay-sayers to come out.

The key sentence from the press release is kind of buried.

As a result, the carrier will fly at 10 percent less capacity in the fourth quarter than its previously projected fourth quarter capacity.
I will bet anyone a large sum of money VX projected to fly more in Q4 than in Q3, and they still do- they've just slowed it down some.

Adjusting your route mix to eliminate the slow midweek routes is good (especially if it means we can say goodbye to the dark A319).
