Scott Kirby’s assumption. And whoever runs DL and AA and now WN. Not mine.

With years and years of data.

The margin associated with bag revenue is stellar, because there is virtually no variable cost.

My observation is WN has half arsed it though. They adopt the unbundling and charging, but no carrots like F or a proper alliance. The network has to be robust and resilient to stay relevant.
