Been checking the cablepick tool but it seems that even with the inventory changes, business class is not being booked accordingly. Anyone know what the deal is? ...
Remember UA has years of data on this route. Z0 & P0 means sales are doing as expected or better than expected based on their forecasts/models to sell out the cabin. That can change but for now UA is feeling comfortable. There has been some discussion on FT that perhaps these inventory changes are set too sensitive.
