Lots of news concerning the airline industry today. Northwest Airlines continues to try to work out a deal with their pilots union. They reached a deal with their flight attendants yesterday, which included a pay cut. Delta 3, however, is not faring as well with negotiations 4. They and their pilots union did not reach a deal in the latest round of negotiations which means an arbitration 5 panel has now stepped in. These moves may likely cause fares to increase which is the way to go, says Cheapseats.com airline expert Terry Trippler.
Terry Trippler: Well, they're going to have to have these, these wage cuts as No.1, but they definitely have to increase revenue, they can not be selling tickets at less than the custom to operate.
But Trippler says that could be a gamble since there’re passengers who won’t fly because of price increases. American Airlines is now flying from Love Field for the first time in 5 years, raising the stakes and a showdown with rival Southwest Airlines which is based at the Dallas Airport.
