Kirby said that the 50 seaters would most likely be a thing of the past after all of this, but I fully expect more of the same. He’d love to have what Delta does, but he’s not willing to do what they did to get it.
When you look at ticket prices, economy fares keep going down relative to inflation. I view a regular economy ticket on any legacy as flying on a LCC. Economy plus is what economy used to be. Business class/first is like a totally different airline.
