Ok, humor me a bit.
Now that U has made a big step toward its so called lower cost structure AND it has announced its February 'increased utilization/increased capacity' p2p schedule, doesn't this presume an increase in demand or a shift in future capacity growth from U's competitors to U?
So, can we assume that
a) Go Fares will be implemented more broadly for the Feb schedule
B) Go Fares will stimulate demand, despite the coming Bush/energy recession
c) the increased demand on the east coast will be accomodated by both U and its competitors, but that U will increase its market share of leisure travelers from Spirit, JetBlue, WN and iAir
d) that the new competitive landscape will make Spirit's, WN's, iAir's and JetBlue's aircraft orders misplaced.... some of that increased system capacity would be best allocated to U.
So, considering the above, does anybody know whether iAir's or Spirit's Airbus orders are compatible with U's Airbus fleet?
Rank speculation.
