I wonder how much of that revenue was from tickets sold for subsequently cancelled flights that saved UA $200MM in OPEX vs DL (having slashed far more flights)? UA might be holding $200MM of ETC credits more than DL as a liability
Like my million in UA’s pocket right now. Only kidding, just a small fraction of that.
The good news for UA is that I’m flying them tonight for the first time in 4 months. The bad news is I paid only $466 R.t. for OGG via HNL/LAX to LAS and I’m sitting in 3L on a 788 HNL-LAX. I’m pretty sure they would have preferred to realize a bit more for the seat/trip.
