One of the worst held secrets in the industry. Robin taking over for Dave has been known for the last 4 months. All that was in question was the timing.

Not only that, but prepare for increased seating density, as the Wall St stock-pushing whores parrot each other in claiming that the only path to salvation and higher profits is in squeezing more and more seats on each plane.    
 
Interwebs know-it-alls have been claiming the same thing about AA for years.   AA's biggest problem (they claim) is that it flies too many airplanes that don't feature sufficient numbers of seats.   Some have even claimed that higher seating density will lead to higher yields (higher average fares) on the 772s once they are reconfigured.   Yes, that's why average fares are "too low," there are not enough seats, and everyone knows that average fares will go up when each seat is either smaller or features less legroom, or both.    
 
Meanwhile,  even with AA's "not dense enough" seating configurations and "too generous" domestic premium cabin meal policies and "wasteful" rolling hubs,  new AA managed to earn $1.9 billion in the first half of the year (excl special items).
 
The profit margin at B6 for the first two quarters of 2014 wasn't extremely high, but it was better than it's been in quite a while, and is showing signs of improvement.    And yet the Wall St stock-pushing whores know just one line:   "more seats on each plane will result in higher profits."

taking profits from employees in BK aren't real profits. 
 
Lets see how AA/US do when the employees are in the same ball park as Delta......
