I saw your posting in the other thread. I really wonder how independent the North American operations can be. I can see maybe airport operations, FFP (especially partnerships) and Marketing but even Inventory Management/RM/YM, pricing have to be network-wide, right? Then of course Management rotates in and out of TPE, right?
They are actually pretty coordinated with TPE (surprising!). Mgmt. do quite a few runs to TPE every month and the same from TPE to LAX (also a ton of conference calls and video calls). The RM team there is mainly responsible for helping to manage inventory for TA's and processing all upgrades out of the region but they coordinate with the main team in TPE. Pricing remains the responsibility of TPE.
