Let's revisit in 1 year; my personal opinion is it’s going to be another Delta 2.0.
Ok, let’s put it another way, the data you are citing doesn’t lead to the conclusion you suggest it does. In fact underlying flight revenue is flat given fare increases (you get top line growth just by putting prices up without changing the business), costs are significantly up, the non flying revenue looks good but I expect under scrutiny will be seen to have been massaged. The change to BAC hasn’t caused the revenue/margin step anticipated. You could argue from these numbers that no FFP at all is needed.
