Y'all can take your business elsewhere..... I prefer to fill UA premium seats with economy fares! bwahahaha!


There's more than one way to skin a cat!
Thats a good approach too, but....

They do have the ability to manipulate the system, per Rainey, and "clamp" down even further if the strategy doesn't drive the results they are looking for.

The only way I think we have any leverage is, if they lose the revenue AND the bodies, meaning lost revenue and empty seats needing to be filled. Otherwise, they might think no harm no foul, we have the right load factor, but just need to tinker with the pricing matrix a little more.
