When it came to competition, PI bowed to nobody..ever...we went up against PE with their $19 fares and gave full service along with it. They pulled back on many of our markets after a while. PI built the CLT hub right under EA's nose and eventually took it all. AA tried to squeeze PI in CLT with their RDU hub and failed also. Make no mistakes about it, when PI opened the DAY & SYR hubs, US knew they had to buy PI to stop us. US NEVER knew how to deal with competiton as many of their routes in the NE were not operated by anyone else. Once DL & AA started to move into the NE, marketing was baffled and has been ever since.
