Astute point. The Market will adjust. Aviation for some reason known to all but not generally discussed, has excellent technology in flight ops and neanderthal thinking in the Front office. Most markets are not only agile enough to react to conditions, but also exhibit some vision and proactively spank the audience into novel thinking and usage. In Aviation, Fuel prices need to be punitive forever before a decision can be made, and only then the carrier wants to fire and hire several dozen managers before a tentative call will be gingerly employed. Labor Relations, commodity flow, marketing and ops are what, 50 years behind the times? I wear a Rolex, the Ceo wears a Sundial.
