My personal favorite: they gave away one of CLE’s most valuable routes back in the day that had average, high-yield load factors above 90 percent almost year round. Their excuse? “There’s no opportunity for growth on that route.” That’s not the urban legend version, either. They actually published it in company updates and I might even still have a copy around here somewhere.
That’s when I stopped listening.

just because there are people on the plane doesn’t mean they are making money.
