Aside from a few petrostates scattered across the world, I don’t think our oil prices are going to be that much different than what (MOST) other people pay, carbon tax included.
in referencing our competitors, that is a pretty vague statement… Who exactly are we competing against these days? If you listen to some of the top brass, in some ways it’s everyone, but in other ways it’s ourselves. We focus on high-yield originating traffic in our hubs. secondarily, when gunning for Connecting people intra/internationally, we are competing more against Delta and American, than Emirates, Cathay et al.
hard to say what policy will work to get the global economy back close to 2019 activity. But I would be skeptical of anybody telling me that they know what the future holds, red or blue policy-wise.
