Kinda wonder if it’s because the VP of flight ops doesn’t know what a cost index is, or how to change it.

Cost index is a joke, at least domestically. The speeds are ridiculously high and need editing in climb and decent or cruise is to slow for ATC. But yeah for a green airline we sure burn a lot of fuel for no good reason and then don’t burn it for a bad reason. Like saving fuel in ATL when it’s 85 degrees and 95% humidity during the 40 minutes of boarding.

The article and overall issue is about skyrocketing fuel costs and possible fuel shortage not current airline booking trends. Airlines can book to theirs hearts content but will have to return the money if they cannot operate due to a jet fuel shortage. Even if there isn't a shortage, oil is projected to be well of $150/barrel this summer. Going to be interesting

Brent crude is continuing its march down, almost below $100:
