well the Nov 2012 traffic report is out...
UAL PRASM down (1-2%), mainline down (1.5% to 2.5%), traffic down (2.3%), capacity down (2.6%). So even with a .3% higher load they still lost major PRASM. (PRASM factoring higher load was down (1.3% to 2.3%, mainline by 1.8% to 2.8%)) On time was 82.6%
DL PRASM was up 2.5%, and they were at 90.6% OT (their 8K had no capacity/traffic numbers).
AA PRASM was down (2.3%), and their load fell by (1.2%). I have been told that this figure is just mainline. If so adjusting for load issues AA's mainline PRASM was down (1.2%).
I see little sign in these numbers that (other than AA stumbling as expected) high value fliers are coming back to UA. It is shaping up to be a very bad quarter.
