OK, but you’re the one who said: “
airlines like the legacies have been flying hub/spoke or some variation thereof for nearly a century. That’s predictable.”
Now you’re saying comparing the industry of a century ago (which by the way wasn’t an industry and certainly wasn’t hub and spoke) isn’t a real comparison. So which is it? Or do you just think you know what you’re talking about but you really don’t. I bet you aren’t even a pilot.
