Agreed. Incessant might be a more appropriate word choice.

Most relevant thought in this thread. Fingers in ears and counting down to endless string of complaints about how AA is F-ing the public for actually charging the cost of its product and in doing so threatening the American dream...
Pricing your product below cost is generally prohibited in most countries including the US.
I can't wait.

Pricing product below cost with the intent of driving out competitors can be illegal under U.S. law, but intent is hard to prove. And everybody's doing it, so it's more like industry-wide pathological business practice than anti-trust violation.

What a waste of time. I was hoping on getting some extensive info on what specific flights were being cut, and instead I read a thread on the tech support of spellcheck. Where's the moderators when you need them.
Anybody have a lead on specific flight cuts at ORD other than what was in the Trib article?

"Ladies and gentlemen, pardon the delay of flight xxx from Chicago to YYY, the captain is busy stupfing his sister in the pilots' briefing room. We appreciate your patience."
