Analyst Daniel McKenzie predicts capacity reductions by Southwest Airlines Co. should help US Airways boost revenue by expanding in some key markets.

So much for “They’re coming to kill us!â€￾

What markets are LCC expanding in?

Certainly not the most underutilized and efficient airport in the U.S. aka PIT.

Not anywhere, which makes this whole thread anal analysis.

If PIT was worth a damn, others would have exploited it, free market and all that.

The PIT lovers here are like Walter Sobchak in "The Big Lebowski"

As for US, they are doing the right things, and its being noticed, angry employees aside, US is doing what it needs to do in this environment.

Piney they only way to reduce that CASM would be to eliminate most of the old/expensive easties that you love!

 

[ggiby]

Your above statement is so half baked it hardly worth a reply.

So answer me this. How come WN pays between 20 to 30 percent more than US and yet has the same percentage lower CASM?

That alone skewers your argument right there. NEXT!!!!!

Also the "easties" that the other person is referring to makes less per hour then the "Westies" A lot less.....

Do you really think that's alright? You're wrong. :down:

And I as well.

We're like the cat with nine lives. Underestimated.
