UA posted a $1.3b profit while increasing capacity over 7%. They added 50 jets this year and will add over 100 next year.
AA losing money over summer is the same thing that happened to Spirit.
Who knows how this will turn out. Isom has had enough time to put his stamp on the operation, and it hasn't improved. At some point major decisions need to be made with regards to our route network, hubs, etc. to bring about a profitable and sustainable airline.
