Yeah. So thanks, Mary. That is one where the -- throughout the pandemic, even though airline revenues fell, our co-branded revenues never fell nearly to the same degree.

Outside of 14, indeed, there is a significant level of fare strength across any competitive O&D grouping there might be. And I'm confident that the quality of life and the compensation for pilots is something that's going to attract a lot of people to the industry. I guess, maybe just to put a finer point on it.

For the year ahead, we are resolute in achieving two key goals above all else, running a reliable operation and returning to profitability. So most everything is in place to fly. Hi. Do you have any historical perspective on consumer demand at these levels of inflation? So I think this is a forward guide, which we think is where we're going to get and be profitable for the quarter. I mean, -- I think the numbers Derek talked about, the 600, that was this year alone. And indeed, it's not far from that right now. First, demand continues to grow and grow at a meaningful pace. Take care. Indeed, on our card with Barclays, our spend is growing at a greater rate than inflation. American and its regional partners operated more than 500,000 flights in the quarter, an 8% increase over the second quarter of 2021, with an average load factor of 87%, which is 10 points higher than the second quarter of 2021.

Running a reliable operation this summer will be critical to the continued recovery, and we have taken numerous steps to ensure we are well prepared to deliver for our customers. Does it still make sense for American Airlines to have an award chart just given where demand is and kind of how hard it is to find seats with awards these days, with miles these days?

Jamie, I'm going to start with this, which is the outcome in on-time arrival we know is the biggest driver of customer satisfaction, as I've said before, it makes the food taste better. I'm just trying to get a sense for kind of what the mix is within the guidance that you're giving us. American ended 2021 with our strongest operating performance in the company's history. On the call this morning, we have our CEO, Robert Isom, and our CFO, Derek Kerr.

Thank you. And it looks like Jamie is one that we've actually spent a lot of time understandably thinking about. Thank you.

Hey, good morning, everyone. We're simply sizing the airlines for the products we have. First one for Derek, just to confirm the updated CASM outlook that does not include any new labor deals, excuse me. So as we go and as Robert said in his comments, our CASM will get better and better throughout the year as we head back to flying. So we're going to get out there and make it happen. As for full year 2022 capacity, we now expect to be recovered to 92% to 94% of 2019 levels. And we expect that many will continue to do so. Hey, David, this is Maya. Just wondering if with your background, Robert, and having ascended to the top seat, is that still the metric that you have prioritized, let's say? System business demand is now about 80% recovered, with small to medium business revenue approaching a full recovery and corporate revenue now around 50% recovered. There's clearly a level of demand for our product and future anticipation of travel, which is very promising. And what that relationship might be telling us?

Sure. Thank you. Your line is open. Robert, let me just add to that. Our next question comes from Andrew Didora with Bank of America.



Yes, Mike, it's an excellent question.

So we don't have a specific time frame in mind, it's just something we continue to work on. Your line is open. Our next question comes from Helane Becker with Cowen.

Our next question comes from Mike Linenberg with Deutsche Bank.

And those markets, such as London and long-haul South America, are recovering pretty quickly, too. OK, David, your line is open. We have the trainers coming in. Hi, David. And with the technologies that we've got proactively moving customers off so that we don't have the same level of denied boarding expense that we had in times past. Short way to say it is we are seeing a lot of strength in a fair environment with customers who frankly value quality of product that we have and are willing to pay us at flat. American produced revenues of $8.9 billion in the first quarter, including industry-leading passenger revenues of $7.8 billion. I don't know, because we haven't talked about it. So while the regional carriers are able to source pilots at this time, we just can't get them up to speed, and in the position, fast enough. Certainly, one that we spend a lot of time thinking through and working on. And indeed, we're able to generate more revenue through the overbooking flights. The American team has done an incredible job of setting up the airlines to take advantage of the rebound, pointing our network to where our customers want to fly, establishing partnerships in more challenging areas and making sure efficiency is top of mind.

Again, we sized the airline for the resources that we have available. I guess, in a couple of days since that policy has changed, have you seen any evidence of any kind of shift in bookings, increased bookings or decreased? What level of restoration in international flying does the revenue guide embed?

Excellent.

So whatever we -- you hear us talk about business, we are talking about, for example, somebody who travels, one person on the itinerary, no checked bags, things like that, right? Thank you for your interest and for joining this morning.

But so far, there's nothing to indicate that it's materially up or materially down. In conclusion, with the actions we have taken and the commitment of our team, we remain very well positioned. Right now, if you go look in published schedules, about 65%, 70% of the airlines flying really what we call our Sunbelt hubs and short-haul Caribbean kind of markets, where the airline has a unique level of strength. In particular, the consequences of the coronavirus outbreak to economic conditions and the travel industry in general and the financial position and operating results of the company in particular have been material, are changing rapidly, and cannot be predicted. And we are really appreciative of the announcement yesterday from the acting FAA administrator, Billy Nolen, who said that the zero-tolerance policy against unruly passengers is here to stay as we anticipate. And so, we are seeing, first and foremost, that -- we look at it really outside of 14 versus inside of 14. And we hired, I think, almost 20,000 people. And at American, we have completed a $1.3 billion cost reduction program. We believe that the U.S. can safely follow countries that are progressing through the pandemic, including Canada, the U.K. and Ireland, which have, we think, safely evolved the scope of their entry requirements and moved away from predeparture testing. We look at it both and what is out there selling, but importantly, what is netted back to us after we deduct the cost of sale from it. The information we are giving you on the call this morning is as of today's date, and we undertake no obligation to update the information subsequently. The reduction in full year capacity from our prior guide is largely due to 788 delivery delays that I touched on earlier. This capacity guidance is, of course, subject to future demand environment and fuel prices. And we're confident we're going to prevail no matter what we face going forward. Hey, guys.

But so far, it's been promising.

We're doing things like we have full flat beds on all of our transcon markets, which is a thing that American Airlines is -- has long dreamed of and now through this partnership with JetBlue we're able to make it happen. Robert will start the call this morning with an overview of the first quarter and our priorities for the year. And we're seeing that as things start to recover. And look there's a lot that we're seeing today, which is kind of breaking from a lot of historical trends, much like the question earlier about how fuel prices are bleeding into fare. David Vernon -- Sanford C. Bernstein -- Analyst. If we maintain this level, what we have said is we would take a step down to somewhere in the $10 billion to $12 billion range.
