“We have the most fuel efficient fleet, we need higher gas prices to snuff out the legacies!”
Some weird black swan event to lift them up by the boot straps

Their response will be “Just wait until the next recession! Customers will be all over us for our low prices!”

To be fair this used to be the case up until legacies figured out becoming banks allowed them to run an unprofitable operation. Their entire domestic network is essentially a loss leader now. DOJ thinks they’re enforcing antitrust when they’re really just further entrenching the 3 way oligopoly that they allowed to develop over the past 20 years.

I'm too lazy to look it up, but do any of you have hard data from financial reports stating what percentage of a legacy's revenue comes from credit cards vs the operation as a whole? Is the operation actually running at a loss that is enabled by credit card sales, or is this just a popular narrative that is blindly repeated? My guess is that the data will show that while a significant source of revenue does come from the sale of credit cards, that revenue is just a piece of a multifaceted stream produced by a very large network.
