again, I pity someone that has to call someone else a liar because they can't stand the fact that I have accurately predicted what is going on in the industry.
AA, not me, said that DL/VS' growth at LHR is impacting AA.
if you choose not to believe it, it is not me a liar because you haven't been given the facts that you think you need.
You've been given umpteen other facts about umpteen other situations and you can't seem to accept them so why should I bother going to the effort to fine something else for you?
quite simply, AA is on a very uncomfortable trajectory.... RASM declines, a shrinking network, rapid growth of regional carriers while mainline shrinks, the largest aircraft order book in the industry, rising labor costs as the price for getting the merger approved, and rising fuel prices after AA went out and spent even more money based on low fuel prices which are going back up after less than six months.
if you feel great about that scenario, then spend all the time you want focused on my statement regarding whether DL is really seeing one of the fastest returns on a JV or not.
you should be spending a whole lot more time focused on what you need to do to get people at the helm of AA who know how to create a truly viable future instead of the smoke and mirrors that have marked Parker's entire airline mgmt. career.
