Why don't they just push it back to June at this point?
Why frustrate the few customers who have booked it now?
We might see passenger levels resume to (some) normalcy like 1M people per day, so what is United's rush?
Their financial results will certainly not be helped by this route
Shoot, I was just about to book a JFK-LAX flight. Polaris was super empty.
I guess I will just have to shlep to EWR.
United believed it needed to return to a market it should have never left and now has to claw its way back into a market where other carriers are in a much stronger position.
Since Delta is operating 5 767 flights/day each way on this route, there obviously is some demand.
Can't they use those battery powered air taxis to shuttle passengers from JFK to EWR?0
- cargo potential? Maybe
-- feeder for Star Alliance? For sure but not now!
- secure coveted JFK gates for now and the future?... absolutely!
- care/concern about the few passengers who booked flights on this route that were later cancelled?? ... dream on
