I'm pro-Isom but honestly I'm just tired of the excuses. Every quarter it's some reason for massively underperforming. UA dropped $2b in cash on new jets last quarter. No financing. Insane.
AA is a follower not a leader. Well, post merger. Pre-merger, they definitely were setting AA up for higher end experience. IFE, color coordinated (and premium) uniforms and cabin interiors, 321T experience, better meals, etc. Turns out, the previous management was actually ahead of the eight ball. Who knew.

UA went from Dr Dao and breaking guitars to a juggernaut seemingly overnight.
Tom Horton should have won.
Nothing good has ever come out of America West. It's an airline that should have folded in the 90s
