They need to focus on what they do well and what they offer well, not what ULCC's do well.

Here's a fresh article from Forbes. The closing paragraph spells it out. The legacies are doing the opposite, they're eroding their own unit revenue.

Forbes Welcome

Don't forget MCO-SFO/LAX/SAN Never would have believed it until seeing it first-hand.
