And that was a direct result of SWA coming into PHL??? :blink:You presumably took note of the 2nd East bankruptcy filing, correct?
Just get a time table form WN and look at the cities that US mainline use to dominate in
There are your answers Of course you have to know US past history
You sounds like you live in the desert in denial
Jim, by the way, I love your posts!!! You are always spot on. What do you think will happen to US and the BOS market?? :unsure:[This is aimed at wings396's post above - Jim]
Go back and look at US' CASM prior to BK2 and compare it to WN's back then...
I'm not claiming that WN's entry into PHL and subsequent growth there was the sole reason for BK2, but it played a part. One can't discount FL's presence there for a while (bye-bye $1000 PHL-BOS roundtrip fares while they were serving that market) plus other lcc's in various markets from PHL.
Then there was Siegel's "We need lots of 50 seat RJ's" plan...

Jim, My response was directed more at todays CASM and the other post claiming that SWA would send US packing if they came to CLT due to their CASM being a few cents lower than ours.
It's not just that their CASM is lower. It's the loss of pricing (gouging) power that US relies upon to extract revenue from CLT. That's the far larger problem.
Based on a previous post, it appears that number includes the Express operation.Per the Bureau of Transportation Statistics for the First Quarter of 2009 US Airways CASM was 15.1 compared to 9.9 for Southwest.
US use to dominated all those marketsIn Summary:
Just wondering why WN hasn't decided to fly into CLT.It's not just that their CASM is lower. It's the loss of pricing (gouging) power that US relies upon to extract revenue from CLT. That's the far larger problem.
Keeping in mind that my opinion and $5 will get you a Starbucks coffee...Jim,
What do you think will happen to US and the BOS market?? :unsure:
