And the argument that "it won't matter in a few years" is bogus as well. Because it matters NOW. And no one can say what the industry will look like in a few years. So ask yourself, where do you want to be when the music stops from the next worldwide socio-economic burp; on the leading edge of this current upswing, or the trailing edge?





Well believe it. I was asked the same or similar questions at two United meet and greets, a Spirit interview and a Delta interview. You must have better data points?



What does "more acceptable standard" even mean?! Seems like just more rationalization. The standards are dropping because they have to. It's not a choice airlines are making because they WANT to, it's just the only way they can get butts in seats with the downward wage pressure and miserable mess that has been created. Your argument is literally "Why waste your time becoming more competitive? Just give it some time and the bar will lower to my level." Again, in my opinion, this speaks more about your character than any degree or life experience you may have.
