Sure seems that way to me.

Anyone else noticed that?

Yes, but I don't think it has been any MORE optimistic than last
year. It's just that when it predicts lift to 20k, and the lift only
goes to 18k, we don't get too worked up. When the forecast is for
lift to 14k, and we only get to 12k, it will make a significant
difference in your flight.
