The majors rapidly expanded themselves into massive overcapacity in the late 90's/2000. We were headed off a cliff before 9/11. 9/11 just gave us some public sympathy to cover for the catastrophe to come.

United hired about 1000 a year from 1995 to half way through 2001. A large 777 displacement on the SFO 777 was published the first week of Sept, 2001, a week before the really bad day.

Hopefully they have learned.............and the profit sharing will continue.
