So, a slight decrease in ASMs but bigley improvements in reliably. Capacity reductions abroad in the face of a more expensive dollar will help yield.
it was fun while it lasted
Reliability? Remember, UAL decided to stop maintaining the 400's when they announced the retirements for 2018. Whenever that happens, the reliability plummets. Not the aircraft's fault. Cheap management decides what kind of reliability they want to pay for. Just hope it doesn't bit us in the form of an incident or accident.
Reliability is directly proportional to how much money you spend on future maintenance and parts, so drawing this conclusion is a false assumption and directly attributable to flt ops decisions on spending.
