And...where exactly do we (Delta) compete, head to head, against AA any more?

We pulled out of DFW a long time ago, and MIA, and ORD, and LAX and BOS and and and...

So while Delta's management will be happy to tell you, "AA is in bankruptcy now, we have to keep our costs down, to compete with them." that is exactly what AA's Mgt is telling them! "Delta went through bankruptcy, we have to have shed your retirements and we need PBS to compete with them..."

It's always been a Monkey see, Monkey do industry.

Many years ago Bob Crandal said, "This industry is always being led by the Dumbest competitor."

So...who's turn is it this year?
