Fair enough.
The preceding statement was, “
An airline leveraging itself off credit cards is not healthy.”
UA, AA, DL, WN, AS, and B6 aggressively push credit cards to their fliers. Which airlines are “healthy” and which are not? Is there any correlation between their strength and having steady revenue streams beyond butts in seats? Even amongst the six airlines listed above, is there any correlation, or is the premise not accurate?
