They're on the CAA website. Without using a calculator, it seems that the legacy scheduled carriers from EDI (JFK, EWR, ORD) are down about 2500. The carriers from GLA (Philadelphia, EWR, and now JFK) are up 7500 - Delta having taken some business from AA and UA. So overall TA PAX on these airlines are up even before you count in the 17500 who flew with Norwegian.
