RES -
The Feb schedule change should be a good indication of what the TP is. It goes back to re-focusing assets to where they make money. Beefing up PHL, DCA, CLT, LGA and BOS operations while adding point to point service such as the announced expansion of carribean service out of FLL. Changing the PHL operation to address customer demand and operational challenges.
Just by changing the way we schedule airplanes and hub operations, we were able to add 7% more flying to the system. That is 230 flights a day, without adding an additional airplane. This helps the same number of assets generate more revenue, increases airplane and employee prodcutivity. The changes will also help to reduce fuel costs in PHL since the hub will be continuous flow, you won't have the mass exodus causing long lines at the departure end of the runway.
Add to the changes in the Web, GoFares, expanded service to the Caribbean (which has a lot less LCC competition), additional point to point service, better slot usage in stations like DCA (swapping E70's for Dash 8's and operating on routes like DCA-IAH, DFW, DTW, ORD)
When we exit bankruptcy and can take delivery of additional 70-90 seat jets, we will be able to enhance service in LGA and BOS.
Do you not see this as a part of the plan?
