US trying to confuse the enemy

[JayBrian]

"US Airways feels really feisty, and they are fighting a tactical battle, trying to confuse the enemy," says airline consultant Robert Mann. "They drained the pool in Charlotte before JetBlue came, taking out the high prices; then they failed to match the transcon fare increase."

"Early this month, US Airways moved to block JetBlue's fare increase of $25 to $50 each way on the majority of its east-west advance-purchase fares. "We believe US Airways' action represents further evidence of increased legacy hostility aimed at stunting discount-carrier revenue recovery," JP Morgan airline analyst Jamie Baker wrote in a recent report. Despite the US Airways move, JetBlue did not rescind its increase. "

That is awesome. Hilarious.
