I doubt that. Airlines with mainly O/D routes (like AI) will do yield management a lot differently than airlines that leverage the hub-spoke model to connect different parts of the globe via their superhubs (like EK) to airlines that do a mix of both (SQ, CX, BA)

No, we took it the way you wrote it, that a pretty good job of yield management can be done by reading a textbook.

Then why would you say there's "no innovation or critical thinking required"
