UAUA SHUTS DOWN TED!

Wow! I heard the headline without reading the story. The full story is that UAUA is shutting down its low cost carrier. This is what I have been talking about. The big hub carriers are not the ones taking the bulk of the pounding. Some fliers do not like hubs but the fact remains that they increase connections of city pairs dramatically while cutting operating costs by 20%. The old story is often true that "you cannot get there from here". It does not matter if you prefer a small direct flight if there is not one available.
