not what consumers wants
Consumers may want service, but they will not pay for it. They shop price on the internet and will switch airlines for a $1. Growth at NJ?, where have you been? with rumors of 500-700 lays coming in January, that business model seems to have problems also. Shame on those consumers shopping for price, the airlines should raise the fares and show they who is boss, make them pay higher prices. Opps! they might not ride the airlines, might drive, take a bus or not go at all. Then what about all those empty seats? Don't need as many airplnes or as many crews or Captains. Good for senior guys not so good for everyone else, what do you think?An Open Letter to All Airlines
So perhaps you shouldn't be blaming oil traders for your difficulties, but rather should focus on developing a robust, highly efficient industry based on the ideal of competition which ensures timely and enjoyable coast-to-coast (and even international) travel. That means, first and foremost, good service -- even for economy class passengers. After all, people will always need to travel. You might find out that airline passengers are more willing to pay up to fly (see the growth of a company like NetJets) when they know it won't be a dreadful experience.Sincerely,
