Kirby must want to sell some of his stock................

Several US airline executives yesterday expressed cautious optimism that the revenue environment will improve in 2010, while US Airways President Scott Kirby was outright bullish about the coming year.
Kirby was less hesitant, saying, "RASM will almost certainly turn positive in February and March and I think you'll see every month get better right through December." He stated that a "10% increase in RASM is achievable on an industry level" for full-year 2010. "We've heard from investors that perhaps we've been more bullish than others," he conceded. But he asserted that the projection of a 10% RASM increase assumes "no further improvement in the economy" in 2010. "If the economy improves, I think there's further upside."
Kirby countered, "I think we're seeing business travel recovery. I know you've heard otherwise, but we see it. The markets that are doing the best are the markets that typically have the most business traffic. We're certainly seeing evidence of business travel recovery."
"oh we think things are going to be great in 2010 but we are still selling a/c and closes bases just in case......" WTF?
