I'd have to concur with you on that point. We have too many hubs too much traffic and not enough room to fit it all in. As of recently, it seemed as though the industry would govern itself by producing a few selected main carriers and a few feeders per continent.
Now we have seen Swissair gone, Ansett gone, as I have heard Sabena gone (again), but also others, at their time major carriers such as Pan Am, Eastern TWA. We'd all agree, there will be a consolidation on carriers but by no means are their constellations fixed, so for an airline its always worth a fight to rise above its current status. Having said that, I'm not defending Swissair at all in fact its employees are demanding another 200 Mil. CHF by this Wednesday or they go on strike (personally I start to get fed up with this company!) Some do say that the folks working at SR are a bunch of spoiled brats, arrogant bastards. Sooner or later I will go along with this notion.
