phx has tons of competition. Southwest is the largest carrier there right now. PHL is competitive with a large frontier and southwest presence. Charlotte is indeed, not competitive, and the most profitable hub for AA.

Southwest‘s presence in PHL had diminished greatly from peak, years ago. In 2018 AA had 70% of seats, Southwest 8.1%

Will the 30% mgmt pink slips help that you think? How much more money do they save having basically one union on property? I know they have advantages, but their gap in profitability is staggering. They’re worth over 3 times what we are now, we’ll see what everything looks like when the covid dust settles.

In 2018 PHL had 31,691,956 passengers. 22,136,137 were AA.

69% Market share. Not enough to maintain pricing power. Not to mention the competition from EWR and BWI. I used to live in Philly and would just drive to BWI.
