DAL only has ATL and NYC with large O&E. I don't consider LAX because it seems our company doesn't want to compete there ... or at least it is giving it away to Alaska. Our other hubs don't make it in the top ten of O&D
We chased SWA out of SLC but they went to DEN and have set up an impressive hub there. Why didn't our management see the potential in DEN like SWA did?
U-Cal is already showing impressive numbers even without the synergies to come. I think we are already sucking hind teet and it will only get worse. We got some work to do, and our WB fleet is seriously sub-par to theirs. Hoping that changes in the very near future. The landscape could really change with AMR trying to figure out it's future.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to all!
