Ok, clearly you can't learn how to run an airline well from a textbook. My point was that the way yield management is done is very similar across different airlines...

I do value experience quite a bit. I didn't mean this statement in the way that you guys took it... And the CMD/AI statement was tongue in cheek...

There is innovation required to be good at any position - the only way to be successful is to be better than your competitors, and you obviously can't be better than your competitor if you are doing the same thing... There is a lot of innovation and critical thinking required in any industry, and aviation is an industry that is more complex than most...
