This is a WOW!
Love the last sentence in the article. "With traffic rising faster than capacity, the average flight was more full — 86.5 percent, up from 84.8 percent a year earlier."
Delta Air Lines reports 7 percent increase in key revenue figure as passenger traffic rises

If UAL hits the midpoint of its guidence if will be badly under-performing Delta once again.
I wonder how much of this is the "don't sell seats cheap, wait to sell them for more later" RM plan. The impact it has had on me is UAL loosing a lot of traffic to OALs, flights I then see empty seats on later...

Everything I've been on lately has been empty. Just went to/from Brazil, wide open in both cabins both directions. They 5500 odd departures every day, so my flying will hardly be a sample, but I am hearing a lot of internal dialog about empty flights

The latest plan (instead of actually improving the product) is to adjust the schedule banks to create shorter connections in DEN & IAH. They believe that less high revenue flyers are flying them due to the longer connection times at those airports, so they are adjusting the banks to create better connecting times.
All I see is the potential increased outflow of pissed off misconnecting passengers

UA would fly an RJ for SFO-LHR if the plane would make it.

Simple, IATA said they were bullish on the North American airline market earlier this week.
The stock market is pathetic right now, everything is all sensational and reactionary. Everybody who is not in the investing business are much better off just putting money in several low fee ETFs [SP500, emerging markets, small/mid cap, international, etc] and just let the institutional investors take care of it for us.
Earlier this year, I wanted to short TWTR about a month after their IPO and was told [by Optionshouse] I had to wait 60 days after the IPO date before I can establish short positions

They are also getting a lot of new planes [739s now then A321s in 2016]. Delta is expanding fast domestically, but relatively flat internationally [UA is doing the opposite].
If you look at DL's hub departures by equipment type, almost 78% of ATL departures are mainline, none of UA's hubs come even close to that figure and for comparable hubs, DL has considerably more mainline departures except for LAX.

That's insane. If anything, it's the reverse. People who know what's going on with United will book away from shorter connection times, especially with UX involved, because of the long odds of on-time performance, especially in the back half of the day.
