Sky-high September traffic
September 2015 traffic was up 7.2 percent versus September 2014, with total revenue passenger miles for the month being 18.1 billion. Total capacity was 21.9 billion available seat miles, up 3.7 percent versus the same period a year ago. Total passenger load factor was 82.7 percent, up 2.7 points versus September 2014. Our traffic, capacity and load factor each broke records for the month. We continue to expect our third quarter 2015 consolidated passenger revenue per available seat mile (PRASM) to be down approximately six to eight percent and our third quarter pretax margin excluding special items to be between 17 and 18 percent.
