Top EU court rules against North American airlines in fee dispute

[Wilber]

what I'm suggesting, as a possibility, is that the tighter margin might influence an airline to ultimately forgo a particular flight/schedule that it's already losing money on... one that its only flying because it's competition is flying on the same route/schedule.

What I am saying is that if you don't offer the same frequency for your highest yielding passengers (business) as your competition, they will fly with someone else. Just because one particular flight is not profitable, doesn't mean the whole route is not profitable.
