In the later case, CX might regret that they could have obtained a higher yield by pricing higher....
I don't think we're complaining, I don't even have any skin in the game, just trying to understand why.
The fundamental factors don't suggest CX should be selling a lot more seats - PRC majors are ramping up supply of seats to PRC travellers now, the local economy isn't as good as previous years.
So is CX changing its pricing strategies again?
Or have we missed some fundamental factor or fundamental factor shift?
