Hi all,

I recently wrote a paper on the future of the legacy airlines for my M.B.A. program. I wanted to share it with you all and get any thoughts and feedback you may want to share. I didn't get into as much detail as I wanted to when I began writing, but we were allowed a maximum of 30 pages and I reached that rather quickly. Anyhow, it is somewhat lengthy but I would love to hear your thoughts on this. The link below should bring you to the paper. Thanks!

I am editing my first post to explain in a little more detail....

This paper has already been handed in and graded. I'm not much interested in hearing about grammar mistakes at this point as it is too late for that. What I really wanted to hear were thoughts about the content itself. Basically, I believe that the national/LLC airlines are slowly killing the major airlines and their regional partners. I don't truly believe that either the major or regional will dissapear, but will lose SUBSTANTIAL market share until they make some significant changes in their operations. The big problem is the horrendous service that they provide to their customers!!! Take a look at the paper (skipping the history section, as it is largely there for background info only) and let me know whether you disagree or agree. Is there something bigger that I missed or something irrelevant that I mentioned?

***NOTE**** I realized I mention nothing about the unions and manangement/employee problems. I really wanted to get into detail on this area but was not able to fit it into the allotted pages for this assignment. I actually believe that a significant portion of the problem lies right here!!! ************
