Example text

Major airlines have maintained physical control over essential facilities through their investments in hub capacity and complex network systems. They have captured limited airport ground and air space. Investment in overcapacity at a major hub means an airline can deter entrance and exclude competitors. American Airlines scheduled more than 700 flights every day out of Dallas/Fort Worth in the late 1990s. In this hub, only (American) eagles dare to land! Commencing in the early 1980s, the major incumbents raced to conquer and enhance their hub power.

It was also perhaps the best-positioned major airline to take the role of the post-deregulation industry leader with its more efficient fleet mix, better-structured route network, and superior cash position. Its initial policy responses to deregulation included increasing capacity and price competition on high-density routes, abandoning lowdensity less profitable routes, and attempting to cut in labor costs. These were the initial choices for all major airlines, but they had little effect. Fierce competition on high-density routes did not generate enough revenues and resulted in significant losses.

The post-deregulation industry was very closely monitored by economists seeking empirical proof of their hypotheses. In 25 general, the literature may be characterized by somewhat naïve enthusiasm and celebration of the success of deregulation during its first stages and until the middle 1980s. Later came surprise and perhaps some disappointment in light of the generally unexpected outcome of the experiment. Most economists and public officials did not expect the industry to evolve the way it has, despite the consensus that the current outcome is superior to government regulation.
