This could've sent this airline into complete liquidation. |
This is a direct reaction to the labor problems at Northwest. It's something I've never seen before. |
This is a soap opera. This is a sure destruction plan. But, they both know this absolutely could liquidate the airline. Neither side will allow this to happen. |
This is not a see-saw. This is major shift in labor-management relations. |
This is the hurricane season. But if you get down to the Caribbean and there's no hurricane, you can get a really good price on a hotel, a decent airfare, et cetera. |
This is what happens when a low-fare airline comes into the market. |
This really could be the airline of the future - a true hybrid. |
This takes a relief off everybody. It's excellent news for Northwest Airlines, employees and the people of Michigan, Minnesota and Tennessee. It's not so good news for United, American and US Airways that when Northwest becomes lean and mean they will be a force to reckon with. |
Those $29 fares were too low. You don' t charge those kind of prices and continue to operate. The bus even costs more. |
Tickets are as low as they are going to get. If you see a good price, take it. |
United just looked in the rearview mirror, and they do not want to go back from where they came. |
Using yield management, you don't have to raise fares to raise revenues, you just make people buy the more expensive fare class. Now we'd have a better chance of playing with the gold bars at Fort Knox than finding out if or how Delta is doing this. ... It's hard in this case to say whether Delta is doing this or raising fares outright. |
We have clients who are very finicky about their seats. I think they'll pay that extra $15. |
We say we'll never fly that airline again, and the first sale, we're there. We're terrible. |
We will see fare increases based on fuel alone. |
