Atlanta-LaGuardia Resuming in January

[WorldTraveler]

although I know E is not upset, you did reply to E and used "you"

From the outside looking in I agree. 
 
 
but when you ask for someone else.....don't be to upset with what you get.

someone will be upset because the promises they thought were coming their way cannot all be delivered.

He is talking about Horton v Aprey
 
 
I am saying the employees wanted someone different than Aprey and got Horton. 
 
Your second line is just more WT logic that is way out in left field. 

 

[WorldTraveler]

you are free to see it as out in left field if you want but I will bet you your profit sharing check that AA will not succeed at all of the int'l growth it is engaging in right now along side all of the pay raises it is promising and still deliver financial results on par with AS, DL, and WN.

ATL-LGA restart for AA is nothing more than a small effort at chest-thumping and grandstanding which will make no difference whatsoever in AA's success in NYC or ATL.

I'll bet any one of your profit sharing checks - you tell me which one.

did I say they would? 
 
and for the pay raises, well see the employees have contracts. This isn't Delta where Parker can do whatever he wants. I know this is not something you are use to seeing, but he can't just "not do it" 

 

[WorldTraveler]

whether they have contracts or not doesn't change that the economics still have to work to support all these pay raises, grow beyond the network they have (AA had no choice in legacy partners so had to pick US whether they could do much for AA's network needs or not), and deliver industry leading financial results - which is what AA people seem to think will happen.

Parker and Delta? apparently someone fell out of the boat in the middle of the lake.

And still, nobody cares.

 

[WorldTraveler]

someone started a thread on the subject and there are 3 pages of replies, so, yes, someone cares.

profitability may not matter to employees who don't have profit sharing but it matters to employees and investors who have a vested interest in their company's success.

In the aforementioned 3 pages, ~40% of the posts are by 1 individual.
I guess it must be tough to be just 'spectator'.

 

[WorldTraveler]

and yet no one has bothered to post that AA is starting DFW-PEK.

I guess there are just buckets of money to be thrown down the drain in the "hope" of being in the "right" markets whether the fundamentals are there or not.

Just as with ATL-LGA, AA underperforms the other legacy carrier operating ORD-PEK to the tune of 20% in average fares; further UA gets more than twice the number of local passengers than AA does.

the whole issue of success (or underperformance to the other legacy carrier) in ATL-LGA is the same as in ORD-PEK.

Why would they? This thread is about the resumption of ATL-LGA.

 

[WorldTraveler]

I'm looking for it anywhere.

The principle is the same.

AA is willing to underperform in order to have a market presence.

The cost of doing it to PEK on a 777 is a whole lot higher than it is to LGA with 4 RJs per day.

Have a good time.

 

[WorldTraveler]

looks like your bud Robbie posted it and no one wants to touch it.

MAH is ticked that it isn't LAX though.

speaking of LAX, looks like DL answered AA with increased capacity into, guess what, LAX....

mainline into SJC and PHX plus AA's new route to YVR gets DL on a year round basis... and more Florida (alongside AA) plus intra-CA.

All this talk about money going down the drain makes me wonder is DL is profitable in New York city?
