Funny how a few months ago the Kirby haters were all "he's a woke tranny that loves DEI" and now he's a boot licking Trump disciple.

Kirby: "It's dead. Its a "crappy model". The model was "screw the customer". The gimmick was to trick people with low fares, get them to come and then surprise them with a bunch of fees they aren't expecting. JB: You really think we’re cool? Let’s do it! SK: Oh, and all that stuff I said about how you LCCs have a crappy business model and you are tricking your customers…I was talking about the other LCCs, not you. You’re cool. Now about those really valuable gates at JFK… JB: Uh… |

SK: “Hey JB, you guys are really cool. We should team up. Definitely a win/win.”

I don't think anyone really puts B6 in the NK, F9, or G4 category, which he's obviously referring to. Seatback TVs, free wifi, extra legroom in all seats, free snacks and drinks or anything resembling Mint would never be offered in the ULCC model.

I mean I guess if this is your kink ok but it’s basically the equivalent of the CEO of WalMart bragging about how they crushed every locally owned business in a small town because “their business model sucked.”

But they’re sitting quietly on their billions in Bentonville, so it’s cool. Got it… |

More like the CEO of Saks 5th Avenue saying Wal Mart sucks.

The comparison was to the advantage afforded by the economies of scale in both scenarios, not the business model. What’s really rich is that UA is now offering the same “crappy product” that the ULCCs are/were selling.
I know those are more MCC's than ULCC's. |
