FLB, I'm not claiming that DAL is a LCC. DAL is a large established network carrier, with a mature work force, not a young upstart with the majority of employees having less than 6 years of seniority. Was Airtran a LCC when it was burning cash in the late 90s when the network carriers were making $$$? You've had a run of profitability, which came to a halt last summer, you'll continue to bleed this falll and most probably this winter, how many losing quarters do you need to have in order to relinquish LCC status? Quite a few upstarts have had similar runs of profitability in the past. How many quarters do you have to have your CASM over 8.3cents, in order to lose LCC status. The real question is, what's a LCC? None of the definitions have any staying power.FLB717 said:FDJ2,
So how many quarters has DAL had a profit? Say in the past 3 YEARS !!! And what is your CSM, 11.+ sumthin. That is the difference between traditional and LCC, can DAL become a LCC, sure, but you don't want to see the blood letting requiered to make it happen.
