Surely there must be a sound business model design for the profitable operation of an Airline.

Names aside, there are other airlines that are making profit, what makes this airline different today? Is this still the fall-out of 9/11? Is this airline managed worse than others? Is there any course like “Running an Airline 101” that explains the basics of running a profitable airline?

I understand that making the airline profitable might cost some pilots their jobs, and that is never nice, but surely that is better than watching the airline cruise down Bankruptcy Boulevard and having all those pilots lose their jobs?

Just asking
