Things are getting really ugly, really quick.
United has reduced capacity, is cutting staff, and is killing of their low-cost carrier TED. US Airways has not fulfilled its order for two planes that could fly their new route to China, so they'll lose the route and they're reducing capacity. The Delta/Northwest Merger isn't complete yet, so who knows the outcome. Continental announced this morning that they are reducing capacity and cutting some staffing. ExpressJet (who Continental employs to fly their little jets) is on the verge of Ch11. Southwest has raised fares considerably. JetBlue has cut a number of routes. AA is nickel and diming customers to make up the costs. yikes. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

What specific factors are making it so weak compared to practically everything else??
