That is incredibly well stated...PERFECTLY stated.Pax hate fly US, but do so because it is the cheapest, or is the ONLY choice for nonstop service between A and B.
Nobody buys a ticket on US because it is their first choice.
Any other alternative is better than US. Witness LGA downsizing - once SW moves in, revenues (as lackluster as they reportedly are) will dissipate rapidly because there is a better alternative (not necessarily a cheaper price). This will hasten our departure from LGA, retreating once again. Why? Because nobody likes to fly on US.
Management policies towards the customer and employee have created a toxic atmosphere where failure is the most probable outcome.
Cheers.
I've been saying it for year..."fly US only when (a.) there is no other way to get from point A to point B or (b.) when it's so insanely cheap, you'd be a fool not to do so.
CO coming into Star Alliance completely eliminates the need for US from a Frequent Flyer point of view.
The policies of hating customers and employees will be interesting to observe after November 1.
