How are we going to compete??
#21
I think it will be a continuation of what is happening now. United will focus and compete more domestically and have a smaller international footprint. NAI and ULCC's will have their niche internationally but so will the Legacy carriers. I don't see UA going away ever or merging with an ULCC like NAI but perhaps more synergetic partnerships with other Legacy airlines across the Atlantic like Luftansa. I'm not too sure about wages. I'm hoping we didn't hit a high water mark but I'm planning my finances as if we did.

It's not often I agree with you, but this is true. Their pilot costs look like they're less than half of ours, but that's a small fraction of the overall cost structure. Assuming the rest of their costs are the same (labor is assuredly less overall, but not by to the same degree as cockpit costs), they've still got a break even RASM of 90-95% of ours. While they'll get a good chunk of the backpacks and sneakers crowd, I suspect it'll be difficult to peel off the valuable corporate accounts and high end travelers for 5-10% lower fares.
NAI is a threat that bears watching, but I wouldn't go into the fetal position, yet. OTOH, the ME3 have very deep pockets and can accept losses for a long time. That looks like the closest alligator to the canoe.

NAI will continue to add flights to the US and eventually enter into a codeshare with an airline such as Spirit or another ULCC- just like they did with Ryanair in Europe. The legacies will lose a portion of that international travel but they will adjust. The two business models will co-exist with the ULCC model being under 10% of the total seat-miles. Legacy airlines will still be the highest paid/best product. None of the legacies will go out of business. None will furlough (thanks to the retirements), but upgrades will be a bit longer. Southwest will turn out to be the best US career (like it always has been) if you are to look back to now from 20 years in the future.
That's my best guess. Time will tell.
