The marketing and revenue side of management appears to be pre-occupied by marginal cost reductions (removal of music, etc). Have not seen any specific actions to imcrease number of passengers or revenue. Even United has reduced B fares on competing routes and claims increased ridership.

Although I hope US is around for a long time, it seems that Benny's Boys are rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
 
US Feb.traffic fell 15.5% to 2.46 MILLION RPM.....from 2.92 MILLION rpm. Load factor 67.1% unchanged....year to date rpm'' down 12.5%.....load factor to date 64.5%
HP Feb. traffic rose 16%.....load factor 70.8%.....
year to date up 18.6%...load factor up 68.2% from 66.1%
3.03 BILLION rpm from 2.55 BILLION rpm....
It can''t just be bad weather and fleet reduction working here....is poor management a minor player here or is it THE major player?
