We're already experiencing operational pressure (gates, slots, ramp space, even pilot supply) to up gauge airframes; now we would add additional cost pressures. More seats per plane = less pilots. So much for the "raise".

The reasons are myriad. **** poor management, bad economy, too much 'competition' yada yada yada. Perfect storm. You have none of that now.
