Did United run the largest displacement bid during Covid? Now it’s reported United wants 400 a month.
Scott says United has the best geographic structure to succeed, then on here, a poster says he said United doesn’t have a hub monopoly like ATL or DFW.
At AA he said iPads replace seat back screens, at United they need to keep screens. At AA they need to compete with Spirt heads up, at United just run your own show with excellence, let them do them.
Economics change... He didn't delay any narrowbody order at all. The economics of RJs have changed in the last 5 years. United does have the best hubs, but yeah, they don't have a monopoly on their hubs like AA and DL do. When he was at AA the whole industry was moving away from screens and then DL went all in and forced everyone else to go back.
Things change, not sure what to tell you.
