All I hear from Congress in this proceeding is " change your business model so that we can have higher ticket prices." When that occurs, of course airlines will be the bad guys and hearings to investigate fare increases will ensue. If only they could force us back to the days when we routinely sold our product for less than the cost of providing it! Capacity and yield management tools have come a long way in the digital age, and are corner stones of airline financial viability. I just love that these guys (and gals) think they can tell the industry what airlines can and cannot sell. Hopefully our management team can develop a customer-friendly solution that retains most of the benefits overbooking offers, and keeps these uninformed wannabe dictators off our backs.
