Joe;
So i invite you to go to United.com or Kayak or Priceline, and get a quote for what I described. And get back to me. 2500 dollars for business class on a 13 hour flight to ORD or SFO doesn't make money for us.
5000 for business is losing money. I searched a bunch of dates and a bunch of city pairs. It is a catastrophe.
IND to SNA makes a bunch of money. ORD or SFO to China loses a bunch. I don't know how long this has gone on. I don't know how long it will continue. AMR cried uncle. When will we?
The lowest I saw was 335$ from ORD to PVG. The high was less than 600$.
