“March 20 (Reuters) - United Airlines said on Friday it would cut its scheduled flights by 5% in the second and third quarters, planning for prolonged higher oil prices after the Iran war sent jet fuel costs soaring, ‌even as strong travel demand helps U.S. carriers raise fares and cushion the hit.

Chief Executive Scott Kirby said in a staff memo the airline is preparing for oil to rise as high as $175 a barrel and stay above $100 until the end of 2027. United's annual fuel bill would rise by about $11 billion, more than twice the profit in its best year, if prices stay at those ⁠levels, Kirby said.”

They are referencing another Alaska pilot who has made a name for himself on various forums (including this one) by posting absolute trash... consistently.

Once again proving that even the more rational Alaska pilots have to make absolutely everything about themselves. :rolleyes:

There’s a few posts, and an entire thread in the Lav as to why airlines are cutting back and mortifying business plans to mitigate the losses caused by rising oil prices.
