Not matching Frontiers fares on days frontier doesn’t offer service doesn’t mean it’s price gouging, especially considering United offers a superior product.
Last I checked, the price of a chicken sandwich doesn't go up on Sundays...

Superior product? Spirit just beat United out in airline ranking.

Nice reference to our “sardine cans”, which btw are the most modern in the industry, especially when your screen name is the N number from a C-152.

Talk about a sardine can, a Cessna 152, buwhaahaha.

Hmm.. Your post is wrong in so many ways.
But if it makes you happy maybe they could start up TED again.
Short haul flights on the ERJs could be called NearTed
Long haul flights flown by mainline could be called FarTed

Are you kidding me? Read up on revenue management, the economics of an airline seat (or hotel room) is way more complex then a chicken sandwich; thanks for proving my point.

United is exempt from unfair business practices. It is not a real business. It is more like an institution ..

Oh yeah, I agree. I'm just being ridiculous because he's being ridiculous...😁

From what I see in his post history, he stirs up poop in every airline's forum but his own...

A Cessna 152 is a real sardine can.

DEN market share
UAL 43.5%
SWA 29.0%
FTR 11.5%

DEN is United's most profitable hub and the number of flights has grown rapidly since Kirby arrived. Ever heard of 'Basic Economy'? Hint: It's not Ted.

Go ahead and poke fun of the first plane I ever touched instead of addressing the actual topic.

So.

Here’s a good read for you and Mr 152, aka Capt Sardine.
