* Ferraro said '''forward bookings are up year-over-year'''. "From a volume standpoint, forward bookings are up over prior year with continued growth in leisure and a pullback in commercial demand similar to what we saw in the first quarter," he said. "And when you look further out, twenty two days, thirty days, the reservation demand in those are up. And if you look back at the pandemic or even during the recessionary periods of 'eight and 'nine, those were down," he added.
