Well, there goes our advertizing budget for this year.

A funny but sad commentary! Maybe if they advertised they would fill up the seats where they need to be filled. Modern Companies have databases that can be mined and customers who in the past bought tickets on certain routes can be targeted when load factors on that route drop below a certain level. This can be done INDIVIDUALLY with e-mail in many cases with near ZERO incremental cost once the code is written. Think we''ll see it down to the route level? NOPE!
I think Dave Siegel still has his Bar Mitzvah money

Yes i agree about advertisements. There are so many things that
could be done to help US grow again (like adding back flights) but nothing is being done. As long as dave continues to get nice big bonuses then yes we have the money that could be put to better use.
Do any of you remember the 3 commercials we had made back in 99/00
that were shown on every flight segment during the 10,000 annoucement.
That atleast showed some effort in getting attention.....course i realize
we were getting new airbuses and expanding at the time ,However, i
thought they were awesome. Too much is now being let go and not
enough actions are being made. I love it that how our pax load was down!!
Of course its down....we''ve cut back so much and cutting back even more
in sept. What other choice do people have but to go where their is
more flights to choose from. I think this is all part of a plan thats
been very well thought about. Wonder what old dave was thinking in the
back of his mind as he stood on stage and people cheered him on and clapped
and telling him welcome aboard??
