ORD-IWA seasonal service added.

Anyone know our delivery schedule for the last two quarters this year and first quarter next year?

Seems like we added a lot of flying.... so we got that going for us, which is nice!

For the transcons I've looked at, VX/UA/DL/AA are all tied in airfares. However, as with anything related to fares, they change depending on a gazillion factors. And are you really comparing ticket prices on VX and NK? Two entirely different operating/business models. Not a good example for a comparison.

VX doesn't know what it is. High end product with low end fares isn't going to make much money in today's airline industry. That being said, they have a fantastic product.

VX knows exactly what it is. It just can't charge enough for the service it provides in this poor economy. VX is trying to survive until the economy improves for the middle class.
