Fixing the Airlines: Reconfigure or Reregulate [View article]
P.S. I agree with the Airbus driver! A good domestic route feed to an international operation is the way to go. SW has neither. If I'm not mistaken, United paid $120 mil for Pan Am's South American routes, and the operation paid for itself within one year. Delta's management team (under Ron Allen) didn't want the SA routes because they said there was no money to be made in SA. Instead, they purchased the European route structure, lost huge amounts of money there, and then abandoned most of that route structure. Those decisions didn't seem to phase management; however, many employees took it in the shorts.
