But back to the matter at hand, everytime JetBlue or spirit or whichever lcc adds an airplane it adds more cheap seats to the industry. It lowers the profits of the legacies and in the ends hurts their ability to be able to pay more. It's basic supply and demand. Get mad all you want but those are the facts.
Your "facts" have been weak at best.
I've around this business most of my life and seen it go through many changes. My Dad started with one of the original local service carriers that grew into the major I went to work for. Used to have PA amd TW guys on the Jumpseat making snide comments about our 737s while the captain was making more than their 74 captains. This business is ever changing and those that don't keep up die. The company you took a job with came close. Every legacy filed for Chp11(depending on the definition of legacy used).
