I can't believe a bunch of MBA's with over 1,000 years collective experience in the airline industry couldn't come up with the answer of all answers that a 5-35 year airplane driver could.
Or could it be that passenger demand in the East Coast and Southeast is far to elastic to raise fares?
There's a reason we don't run airlines.
You're failing to see my point. The mainline managers know they will make money again. They know they have Chapter 11 protection. Why not get ALL they can from the employee groups before they decide it's time to really get down to business. You show your age and nievety by thinking the best of the best are running the airlines. They're mostly a bunch of recycled mediocre MBA students thrown around from falied airline to another, while extracting millions in pension guratees. Wake up man, you are your own worst enemy. Purdue dosen't usually produce such suckers.
