Okunye ukudityaniswa kweenkampani kunempembelelo encinci kubathengi. Kodwa xa iinqwelomoya ezinkulu zidibana, itshintsha ubomi kubahambi, ikhokelela kumaxabiso aphezulu etikiti, inkonzo ephantsi kwaye mhlawumbi nokutshintsha kwikhadi letyala oliphetheyo.
Kwishishini leenqwelomoya ezaphukileyo, apho iinqwelomoya ezinkulu ezisithoba zisilwela unxweme ukuya elunxwemeni, ukususa abantu abakhulu abakhuphisana nabo kunye nokwandisa iishedyuli zokubhabha kunokuba yindlela yokusinda ngcono kumaxabiso e-oyile aphezulu kunye nokudodobala koqoqosho endaweni yokutshona kunye nesiphithiphithi sokwehla kwexesha elidlulileyo. Yiyo loo nto iDelta Air Lines Inc. inokuba ithathela ingqalelo iintetho zokudityaniswa okusesikweni kunye ne-UAL Corp.'s United Airlines okanye iNorthwest Airlines Corp., kwaye kutheni abahlalutyi becinga ukuba imitshato emininzi engundoqo inokulala ngaphambili.
“Ngokungagqibekanga okanye uyilo, ndicinga ukuba izakwenzeka. Ukuba ayikwenzi oko, baya kubuyela etankini kwakhona,” utshilo uGordon Bethune, owayesakuba yintloko ye-Continental Airlines ecebisa abanye abatyali-zimali beenqwelo-moya ezinkulu malunga nethemba lokudibanisa.
Kodwa kubahambi, ukudityaniswa kweenqwelomoya ezinkulu ngokwembali kuye kwathetha intloko ebuhlungu. Abasebenzi beenqwelo moya banyamezele utshintsho kunye nokuphoxeka - okunokubenza benze izinto ezimbi ngakumbi kubathengi. Olunye uluntu lunokubona inkonzo encitshisiweyo ukuba udibaniso luvumela iinqwelomoya ezidityanisiweyo ukuba zivale imisebenzi ye-hub - ngaba i-Delta edibeneyo kunye noMntla-ntshona zisadinga ii-hubs eCincinnati naseMemphis, umzekelo? Amaxabiso amatikiti aphezulu anokwenzeka; Iinqwelomoya zihlangana ngokuyinxenye ukuze zibe namandla amaxabiso angaphezulu.
Kodwa eyona ngozi inkulu kubathengi yinkonzo ehlwempuzekileyo - ukuhamba ngenqwelomoya kade, imithwalo elahlekileyo, ukudideka kwizikhululo zeenqwelomoya, iingxaki zamatikiti kunye notshintsho kwimithetho yenkqubo yokubhabha rhoqo.
Cinga nje okwenzekayo emva kokuba i-US Airways Group Inc. idityaniswe ne-America West Airlines. Aba bathwali babini ngoku banenethiwekhi eyomeleleyo kwaye babone ukonyuka kwengeniso abanokuyivelisa ngeemali eziphezulu kunye nomxube ongcono wabahambi beshishini. Kodwa abathengi bahlawule ixabiso elikhulu ngaphaya kwamatikiti abiza kakhulu.
Xa aba bathwali babini ekugqibeleni bafudukela kwinkqubo enye yogcino, abathengi bafumanise ukuba ezinye iindlela zilahlekile kwaye iingxaki zekhompyuter zikhokelele kwimigca emide kwizikhululo zeenqwelomoya, ukulibaziseka kwenqwelomoya kunye nokuphazamiseka. Abaphathi baseMelika baseNtshona, abathathe indawo enkulu ye-US Airways, baye basokola ukulungisa umsebenzi onganelanga wokuphatha imithwalo ePhiladelphia ovelise iimfumba zeesutikheyisi ezilahlekileyo ngexesha lokuxakeka. Ukusebenza ngexesha kwe-US Airways kuhlile; Izikhalazo zabathengi ziye zanda, ngokutsho kweSebe lezoThutho. Kwaye umntu ophetheyo kusafuneka ajongane nomanyano lwabaqhubi beenqwelomoya olwaphukileyo, apho abaqhubi beenqwelomoya bokuqala base-US Airways bangonwabanga malunga nendlela abadala abachatshazelwa ngayo kukudityaniswa nabaqhubi beenqwelomoya bangaphambili baseMelika eNtshona.
Ukudityaniswa kweenqwelomoya kunceda abaninimasheya kunye nenkampani, kodwa hayi abathengi, utshilo uPaul Hudson, umlawuli olawulayo weProjekthi yeAviation Consumer Action, iqela elingenzi nzuzo.
Abahambi babenokubona utshintsho olukhulu kwiinkqubo ezihamba rhoqo. Umzekelo, iDelta inenkqubo yayo yemileage ebotshelelwe kwiAmerican Express Co., ngelixa iimayile eziManyana zifunyanwa kusetyenziswa amakhadi eJP Morgan Chase & Co, kwaye uMntla-ntshona ulungelelaniswe ne-US Bancorp. tshintsha amakhadi okuthenga ngetyala kwinkqubo yenkampani yomoya eseleyo.
Iinkampani zamakhadi okuthenga ngetyala zinokudlala indima enkulu kunesiqhelo kuthethwano oludityanisiweyo njengoko uninzi lwaxhasa iinqwelomoya kuhlengahlengiso lwazo lokutshona kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo ngokuthenga kwangaphambili iimayile ezibhabhayo rhoqo ukunika abathengi. Ngokomzekelo, iAmerican Express yafaka i-500 yezigidi zeedola kwiDelta. "Iplastiki idlala indima enkulu kutshintsho," utshilo uRandy Petersen, umongameli weFlyer Services, eColorado Springs, eColo., Umshicileli ohamba rhoqo.
Ukudibanisa iinkqubo ezihamba rhoqo kunokukwenza kube nzima kubahambi ukufumana izihlalo zasimahla kunye nokuphuculwa. Iinqwelomoya ezithe gqolo ezikumgangatho ophezulu, umzekelo, zinokuzama ukufumana uphuculo kwinqwelomoya ethile. Kodwa ikwavula iindawo ezintsha zokuya apho abahambi banokufumana amatikiti asimahla, kwaye ivumela iiflaya ezikumgangatho ophezulu zisebenzise izibonelelo zazo njengokukhwela kwangethuba kunye nezihlalo ezingcono kwiinqwelomoya ezininzi.
“Ubonelelo kunye nemfuno zilingana kancinci xa iinkqubo ziba nkulu,” utshilo uMnu. Petersen.
Ukudityaniswa kunokuthetha iinqwelomoya ezinkulu kwezinye iindlela ukuba umthuthi odityanisiweyo onesiseko somthengi esikhulu unokutshintsha ubungakanani obugcweleyo, ijethi engundoqo yejethi yengingqi enezihlalo ezingama-50. Ezinye iinqwelomoya ezinqamlezileyo kunye nezamazwe ngamazwe zinokubona iinqwelomoya ezinkulu - iijethi ezinomzimba obanzi endaweni yeenqwelomoya ezikwindlela enye - ngokunjalo.
UMnu. Bethune uthe uhlalutyo lwentelekelelo yendibaniselwano ye-Delta-United yokunciphisa i-10% yenkonzo ye-jet yengingqi kubathengi bezo nqwelomoya zimbini, kwaye malunga ne-15 jets enexabiso lendlela eyongezelelweyo yokubhabha.
Ukudityaniswa okunjalo kweenqwelo-moya kunokunceda ukunciphisa ukuxinana okuthile esibhakabhakeni. Kodwa kwangaxeshanye, ukudityaniswa kunokukhokelela kwingxinano ethe chatha kwizikhululo zeenqwelo moya eziya ziba nkulu ngokudityaniswa kwetrafikhi. Kwaye ngokwembali, ukudityaniswa kuvula ithuba kubangeneli abatsha kunye nezaphulelo zeenqwelomoya ezivala izikhewu ezishiywe kukucuthwa kwenkonzo kwaye zifumane ithuba elitsha xa abo bakwizikhundla ezinkulu benyusa amaxabiso.
Omnye wabaxhamli abakhulu bokudityaniswa kweenqwelo-moya zangaphambili: iSouthwest Airlines Co., eye yanda kwizixeko ezichatshazelwe kukudityaniswa kweenqwelomoya kwaye yenza imali kwiingxaki zenkonzo yeenqwelomoya ezinkulu kunye namaxabiso aphezulu amatikiti. I-US Airways yafumana i-PSA kunye ne-AMR Corp.'s American Airlines yafumana i-AirCal ukuze ibanike iinqwelomoya ze-intra-California, kodwa uMzantsi-ntshona ulawula kwezo marike namhlanje. Imizekelo yamva nje yeso sicwangciso-qhinga singenelelayo yiPhiladelphia nePittsburgh, apho uMzantsi-ntshona uye wanda njengoko i-US Airways inekhontrakthi.
