    This thread is so frustrating but so good. Delays/other problems that airlines pretend are out of their control are really the results of their conscious choices to run bare bones operations that cut costs at every turn. They can do this bc there's no competition.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1159430417470169089 …

    So @united pulled us off a plane twice last night. First was the weather, the second time they waited hours for “catering” and the crew timed out. Stuck overnight. This morning the plane is delayed again because ... “catering.” Terrible logistics is a consequence of cost-cutting.

        Isn't it also the case that JetBlue tried to be better but the stock analysts forced them to also race to the bottom?

        I was delayed 12 hours from Orlando on @AmericanAir in June with a scenario very much like this: not enough crew.

        Ditto for me on @Delta a month ago, on reentry to US, from JFK to RIC. And again on @United (though not as bad) both legs (RIC EWK). I’ve lived in Europe since 2016 and only had one delay and was bc of snowstorm. Why doesn’t it happen here? Bc Europe has passenger bill of rights

        What looks to the beancounters like fat to be cut, looks like a resiliency buffer to operations types. There’s a tension there, but if things move too far in one direction, bad things happen.

        They do this because passengers select their flights primarily based on price. And running non-bare-bones operations makes your flights more expensive than the other guys.

        Or, radical idea: they could run non-bare-bones operations, not raise fares, make a TINY bit less short term profit, but make life better for their passengers. And maybe in the process create customer loyalty that would increase profits long term.

        When this was happening all the time at American, it was because labor was unhappy, and they were delaying flights on purpose, within the rules.

        Same with my last United flight, which is my last United flight. 4 hour delay for a less than 2 hour flight while all the other airlines to same destination took off on time. They used to be just great.
