Untill the majors do a better job of protecting their business they will keep getting picked on.
Figuring out how to compete against WN, B6, VX etc. ought to have been shining achievement of the management of all the legacies this decade. I don't yet see any of the achieving this - they seem to have the blinkers on following a cost cutting path which very obviously hasn't worked. I'm still hoping someone, somewhere will finally try something different, something off the wall & courageous before the shutters get pulled down on all of them.
