6. yes and we already discussed it before, plus double post on LBN
as i said on the thread there -- the flights are full, ask anyone who travels transpac or transatlantic about all those empty seats, right, there aren't any

we don't have the air capacity to take on any more international travelers

u.s. market share is a percentage, a number that has fallen for a variety of reasons but mostly because it's easier to get to destinations that were once impossible for most people to visit, namely eastern europe and china, there was never anyway we were going to maintain our historically unrealistic market share, we had an unfairly high share in the past because there was no prague or no beijing to visit, grok?

the planes are full, the loads are unbelievable, there just aren't room for any more unless they propose to make these people attach a kite to the back of the jet in order to tag along
