Undoubtly this would lead to more seats and erode yields.
Huh? Whaaaat? I think EOS and Maxjet are gonna fail quickly. If all the seats were going to the same city maybe, but they are not. Most of the new routes are to cities not served by other airlines. ATL to Nice, France. ATL to Athens. We just started ATL to Moscow---nonstop. And do you think the fares are as cheap as Peoples' Express? Ummmmmm, no. People want to go to Ireland in the Summer to play golf. People go to Manchester, England to do whatever they do there. The Euro is also higher than the dollar, and often the Europeans find the US a cheap vacation, and fly on American carriers because they are cheaper than European. We still charge high fares (for over here), but they are cheap over there in comparison.
