what cut does SKYW get? Spoiler alert: not the fare that SKYW sets for PAH - ORD. But without that leg the PAH - SFO trip would never materialize.
BTW, how do you think it works if you buy SAN - DEN - MUC where DEN - MUC is a code share operates by LH?
I understand how it’s booked. I don’t understand why United would give two cents to SKW other then the fare SKW set for the PAH-ORD leg. The Passenger is going to SFO on United no matter what.
If United is selling it as PAH-SFO then that’s a code share arrangement similar as LH and revenue is shared accordingly, got it, sorta. Who new EAS could be so lucrative.
