As Robert said, we are heavily weighted on domestic capacity. Domestic capacity has been weak year to date for the entire industry. We’re lucky to be profiting $750 million this quarter with the current management “strategy”—nobody has better domestic CASM numbers than American though! Hey, without being the best at making money domestically we’d be f*cked.
86% of DAL/UAL profits originated from premium/international travel. American has spent years retreating from capturing that market share.
Reading that crap about APU usage is hilarious though. Yeah, that’s why our profits are lower than the competition…
