The capitalist in me sees a complete lost opportunity to re-shuffle the entire industry during covid.

Everyone, us, Delta, United, Spirit… everyone would have gone out of business. It was a one time chance to re-set the market, un-entrench the big 3, right-size capacity, and bring the system into the 2020’s.

Now we’re just stuck with a bunch of bloated, dominant national carriers who barely even make money flying airplanes, and a few inefficient challengers who definitely do not make money flying airplanes.
