Imfa ya ndege zotsika mtengo? Baloney!

Chiwonongeko ndi mdima, chiwonongeko ndi mdima. Ndizo zonse zomwe ndakhala ndikuzimva kuchokera kwa akatswiri a ndege sabata yatha, ndipo ndatopa nazo.

Kunena zowona, makampani opanga ndege apatsa akatswiri kwambiri kuti akukuta mano m'sabata yapitayi; kafukufuku wa Airline Quality Rating, mwachitsanzo. Idawonetsa kusachita bwino kwamakampani ambiri andege, m'malo omwe amakonda kwambiri ogula: kugwira ntchito munthawi yake, kunyamula katundu, kukana kukwera, ndi ntchito zamakasitomala. M'malo mwake, olemba kafukufukuyo akuti, chaka chathachi chinali ndege zoipitsitsa kwambiri.

Ndiye panali ndege zonse zomwe zikuphulika: Aloha, ATA, Skybus ndi Skyway (ndipo, kuti tisaiwale, kapepala kakang'ono kotchedwa Champion adalengeza kuti sikugwira ntchito mu May).

Zikumveka zoyipa, sichoncho? M’chenicheni, akatswiri ena tsopano akulengeza kuti, “kufa kwa ndege zotsika mtengo.”

Ndikuti, baloney.

Choyamba, tiyeni tiyang'ane pa iwo omwe akupita kunja kwa-bizinesi ndege, sichoncho ife? Tiyamba ndi Aloha; oimira ake anaimba mlandu masoka awo, makamaka zikuoneka kuti, pa “zolakwa za wopikisana naye.” Ngakhale kuti palibe mayina omwe adatchulidwa, ziyenera kunenedwa kuti Aloha - ndi Hawaiian Airlines - anali pankhondo yankhanza yapazilumba ya ndege ndi Go Airlines yomwe idawona mipando yapazilumba yanjira imodzi yolembedwa ndi $1. Kodi zingakhale ogula akuyembekezera $1 ndege ndi $100 mbiya mafuta mitengo sanali kusakaniza bwino?

Ndiye tili ndi Skybus: nayonso, idapereka zabwino kwambiri; Ndikuganiza kuti munganene kuti, pamapeto pake, izi zinali "zosatheka" pa $ 10 njira imodzi.

ATA idati vuto lalikulu pakuyimitsa kwake ndi kutayika kwa mgwirizano wankhondo "kiyi". Hmm. Tili mkati mwa nkhondo, ndipo zikuwoneka kuti palibe mgwirizano waukulu wankhondo wokwanira kuti uyende. Chonde dziwani.

Pomaliza, tabwera kwa oyenda ku Milwaukee, Skyway; inde, ndikupepesa chifukwa cha anzanga ammutu wa tchizi (ndipo ndimagwiritsa ntchito mawuwa mwachikondi chachikulu). Komabe, ndiwasiyira iwo kuti asankhe chochitika ichi poyerekeza ndi kupuma kwa Brett Favre.

Nali lingaliro lomaliza: kodi ndizotheka kuti, m'malo moimba mlandu kuzimitsidwa kumeneku pa "imfa ya ndege zotsika mtengo," titha kuyang'ana bwino makampani awa ndikuyang'ana kwambiri mabizinesi awo, kapena kuthekera kwawo kusintha kusintha, kapena ngakhale tsoka lawo lenileni? Kodi ndizotheka kuti mavutowa anali ndi chochita ndi kutha kwa ndege izi?

Chabwino, tsopano tiyeni tibwerere mmbuyo pafupi zaka zinayi; onyamula cholowa anali kuwuluka ndi ndege pafupifupi gawo limodzi mwa magawo atatu opanda kanthu. Kodi adapikisana bwanji ndi zonyamulira zotsika mtengo? Pofananiza mitengo panjira zomwe zidadutsana. Mafuta amafuta anali otchipa kwambiri, choncho akanatha kuchita popanda ululu wochepa. Chomwe chinkawavuta kwambiri kumakampani a ndege omwe adadziwika kale chinali kukweza mitengo ya matikiti a ndege, chifukwa ndege zotsika mtengo sizingagwirizane ndi kukwera kwa ndege.

Tsopano, kuyembekezera lero. Ngakhale mitengo yamafuta isanayambike kukwera, ndege zoyambira zidaphunzira kuchepetsa mphamvu; amaika mipando yocheperako m’mlengalenga, ndipo yambiri ya mipandoyo inadzazidwa (mpaka 90 peresenti ya iyo chilimwe chatha) m’ndege zing’onozing’ono, zosawononga mafuta ambiri. Apa ndipamene ndizindikire kuti mtengo wamafuta wakwera kawiri kuyambira kuchiyambi kwa chaka chatha; koma mtengo wa mipando sunachuluke kawiri.

Ndiye anakhala bwanji amoyo? Ndegezo zinangosinthana "mitengo yapamwamba" kuti ithandize makasitomala. Mumadzipangira nokha pa intaneti; mumalipira zofunda ndi zikwama (zowonjezera, mulimonse); simumapeza chakudya ndipo simupeza chilichonse chokhudza chithandizo chamakasitomala. Ndipo ndichifukwa chake kafukufuku wokhudza Ubwino wa Ndege wa sabata ino adawonetsa kusakhutira kochuluka.

Koma kwa akatswiri omwe amati, aha, izi zikutanthauza kutha kwa "ndege zotsika mtengo," ndiroleni ndibwereze mawu anga osangalatsa: baloney.

Ndikunena choncho, chifukwa tiyeni tionenso kafukufukuyu: zindikirani kuti ndege zisanu zapamwamba “zabwino kwambiri” mu kafukufukuyu zikuphatikiza chonyamula cholowa chimodzi chokha. Nambala imodzi inali AirTran, yotsatiridwa ndi JetBlue, Kumwera chakumadzulo, Kumpoto chakumadzulo ndi Frontier.

Tsopano, kuyang'anitsitsa imodzi mwa ndege zotsika mtengo: padakali anthu ambiri kunja uko omwe sadziwa kuti ndege yaikulu kwambiri yapanyumba ku US lero ndi - ayi, osati American Airlines, osati kuwombera nthawi yaitali. - ndi Kumwera chakumadzulo. M'malo mwake, Kumwera chakumadzulo ndiye ndege yayikulu kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi potengera kuchuluka kwa anthu omwe adakwera (ndipo samachoka kumalire adziko lawo).

Pano pali chinthu china choyenera kuganizira: mtengo wa ntchito za onyamula cholowa ukhoza kukhala wowirikiza kawiri mtengo woyendetsa ndege zomwe zimatchedwa zotsika mtengo; mumandiuza amene ali ndi mwayi wabwino wopulumuka nyengo yamasiku ano.

Zoonadi, onyamula cholowa sanakhalepo kwanthawi yayitali popanga zosankha zopusa zabizinesi "zambiri", ndipo zochita zawo zaposachedwa zikuwonetsa kuti sali pafupi kuyamba; zindikirani momwe Delta ikuponyera zochulukira ndege zawo m'malo obiriwira obiriwira anjira zakunja. Achepetsa ntchito kumadera angapo aku US, m'malo mwa mitengo yayikulu (ndi mafuta owonjezera) omwe atha kulamula panjira zam'mphepete mwa nyanja ndi kwina. Mosakayikira, ndege zotsika mtengo zomwe "zikufa" zikuyang'ana njira zina zomwe zikuthamangitsidwa ndi ndege zakale.

Izi sizikutanthauza kuti ndege cholowa anasiya kwathunthu pa msika US, ndithudi; akadali mmenemo, ndipo akuyesera kupezerapo mwayi pa njira iliyonse yamakono yomwe angathe. Ngakhale malaya oyera, tayi yofiira, American Airlines yamtundu wa buluu, mwachitsanzo, ikuwoneka ikuyesera kupambana "msika wachinyamata" ndi zomwe zachitika posachedwa mu Facebook. Ndege yakale yakale ikuwoneka kuti ikuyesera kusintha mitundu, ndi pulogalamu yake ya "Travel Bag" patsamba lomwe linali "chiuno" la Facebook (lomwe tsopano likuwonetsa anthu amsinkhu wanga). Ndikhala ndi chidwi ndikuwona momwe akuchitira bwino.

Kotero, apa ndi pamene ife tiri: ena akunena kuti ndege zotsika mtengo zikufa, ndipo ndimangobwereza mawu anga, "baloney." "Chabwino, Rick," ena a inu mukufunsa, "ndiye chachitika ndi chiyani?"

Zosavuta. Makampani opanga ndege anali ndi sabata yoyipa kwambiri.
