I think we can limp along through this hurricane season.

It is hard to kill an airline. They can limp along for years.

With Hurricane Katrina, our schedule was very hectic. But our guys battled through all of those times this season. After the hurricane, we became a closer football team and we rallied around each other.

But there are plenty of stops along the supply chain with weaknesses: the start of hurricane season, Iraqi production hanging on by a thread, recent problems in Ecuador, no sign of growth in Russian production and continued speculative interest in being 'long' in this market. The increases of the last month reflect that backdrop.

We're at a critical, fragile stage here. (If) we have another hurricane season like we've had, who knows what's going to happen?

If there's a La Nina around during hurricane season, the odds for more frequent and stronger hurricanes go up.
