Also from the linked article:

"Our October traffic results are consistent with what we have seen all year, with modest increases in the number of passengers flying year-over-year and business travelers continuing to change their buying habits and purchasing more leisure-type fares," said B. Ben Baldanza....

Someone really needs to explain to this moron that there is no such thing as a business traveler, or a leisure type fare. Should that fail to happen before Southwest storms the gates of PHL, it's all over for US.

Quote Art: It's the fares, stupid!

CCY needs to realize that all the wishing isnt going to change things. Get out of the mindset that if you click your heels three times and think...

...There's no place like home...

That things are going to change. Take some initiative instead of whining about it all the time. (That is what they call it here isnt it?) Do something to the fares if you don't like what people are buying. I thought that is why airlines have marketing, pricing and inventory departments for. Or can we just save a whole lot of money by dumping them if they arent producing?
