If this model of ala carte, high density seating, and efficient aircraft flying to florida doesnt work in this new labor environment, too bad for management. Theyre gonna have to learn to deal with higher compensation or they will destroy their companies.

Sounds to me like the market may be rejecting the model.

I enjoy Baldanza's podcasts. This week they were pondering the idea that AALs 300% deal could possibly set a new benchmark for premium pay. If NK cant handle it, then we need a different model and different managers, because this is where labor is going. Delta makes over billion and we may post a loss. That doesnt sound like "among the first to return to profitability" to me.
