It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for them.
Anyone in the bottom seniority of ORD should be applying to United and American right now.
I agree the summer will be probably be a disaster. Maybe we'll get lucky and I'll be wrong.
guess what , people junior in ORD were already applying to those airlines. Not news.
And why would this summer be any worse or better than any other . The entire Us airline system is in for a busy summer. Having 900 pilots in south Florida, most of which love
some x/y gravy will help them recover from bad weather days. Instead of having pilots almost useless too you sitting in ORD and DTW when south Florida weather rolls thru you’ll have even
More to help recovery. That’s a win for the company. And a point of fact AA (MIA) WN (MCO, FLL) JetBlue (MCO, FLL) all have to deal with the same weather .. I think this entire rebalance gives them more ammunition to deal with the summer headaches ..
Side note.. MIA opened What ? 8 months ago? And we already fly 30 flights a day .. how many have we added in ORD , DTW, DFW recently ? I think DFW-PNS is the only new city from Dallas in many years. Betting Miami has added more net revenue than any of the other non Florida cities in a quicker time. If you don’t focus on where the business is .. it’s just a dereliction of duty.
