What to do? What to do?

For all of those guys wondering how they make money RT at 200-300 dollars. THEY DON'T and they won't until they get their costs in line. They are selling the seats cheap because they need the cash flow. I have forgotten all of the accounting/economics (has to do with fixed and variable costs over the short and long run) but it would cost them too much to just quit flying the routes so therfore they sell the cheap seats and hope they can ride out the economy or go file bankruptcy.

Darginass - that about sums it up

"Actually it's probably just the stupid, inane, and deliberately incomprehensible pricing policy in the airline industry these days. If you can find anybody that understands it, let us know."


I can't understand how I can go online and get 4 diff. $$ quotes in 5 minutes for the same flight on the same airline on the same web site.

I , too, wonder how AA can make money at less than $300 RT.

By using this old financial maxim:

"We lose money on every seat, but we make it up in volume."
