Kamva kulenyanga, ii-US Airways kunye neAmerican Airlines kulindeleke ukuba zidibane, zidale eyona mpahla inkulu emhlabeni kwaye zishiya umzi-mveliso neziphatho ezine ze-mega- ezantsi kweenqwelomoya ezinkulu ezili-10 ezazikho ngo-2001.
Ezine zokugqibela ziya kuba zii-American kunye ne-US Airways (LCC, Fortune 500), United Continental (UAL, Fortune 500), Delta Air Lines (DAL, Fortune 500) kunye ne-Southwest Airlines (LUV, Fortune 500).
Oko kungathetha ukhuphiswano oluncinci, ngokophando lwakutsha nje olwenziwe yiPricewaterhouseCoopers. Izithuthi ezine ziya kubhabha malunga neepesenti ezingama-80 zabakhweli kwiinqwelomoya zaseMelika. Kwisinye kwisithathu seendlela ezili-1,000 XNUMX, abakhweli banokukhetha inqwelo-moya enye kuphela ukuba bafuna ukubhabha bengamisi. Phantse isiqingatha sendlela ziya kukhetha ezimbini kuphela.
Kodwa ukudityaniswa akubanga spike kwimirhumo abakhweli abaninzi abanokuyilindela, kwaye ixabiso kulindeleke ukuba lihlale lijongile ukuba le ntsebenzo iyaqhubeka.
Uphononongo lwe-PWC lufumanise ukuba iindlela zokuhamba ngenqwelomoya zingaphantsi kwe-2% ngonyaka ukusukela ngo-2004, isantya esincinci sokunyuka kunokunyuka kwamafutha eenqwelo moya kunye neendleko zabasebenzi. Ukhuphiswano oluvela kwiinqwelomoya ezingangqalanga kunye nenyaniso yokuba ukudityaniswa kwenziwe kancinci ukunciphisa amandla omsebenzi kuye kwasebenza ukugcina ixabiso lihlawulwa.
“Sinabahambi beshishini abambalwa kakhulu abanokuthi bahambe ngalo naliphi na ixabiso,” utshilo uJoe Schwieterman, unjingalwazi weDyunivesithi yaseDePaul. "Nge-Intanethi, sinokufihlwa ngokupheleleyo apho wonke umntu unokudlala iarhente yokuhamba ngeendlela ebezingenakwenzeka kwiminyaka elishumi eyadlulayo."
Uphononongo olwenziwe ngumhlalutyi wenqwelomoya uJamie Baker weJPMorgan Chase wafumanisa ukuba ziindlela ezili-13 kuphela ezenziwayo zingamisi zombini ziiAmerican neUS Airways. Zisibhozo ezo ndlela ziya kuhanjiswa yinkampani yenqwelo moya enye emva kwesivumelwano.
U-Baker uthe ayonelanga ukuba abalawuli baseburhulumenteni bavimbe isivumelwano ngeenjongo zokunciphisa ukhuphiswano, kuba inokuthelekiswa nelahleko yokukhetha eyenzekileyo kwizivumelwano zangaphambili.
Isivumelwano esicetywayo sixhaswa ngabaninzi ababolekisi abaninzi baseMelika baseMelika i-AMR (i-AAMRQ, iFortune 500), ethe yafaka isicelo sokungabinamali ngoNovemba 2011.
I-US Airways (i-LCC, i-Fortune 500) ivulelekile malunga nomnqweno wayo wokuthenga i-American kunye ne-vault kwinqanaba labathwali be-mega yesizwe. Nkqu nabaphathi baseMelika, abaye bangena kubhengezo njengonethemba lokuhlala bezimele, ivulekile mpela kwinto yokuba iingxoxo malunga nesivumelwano ziyaqhubeka.
Isivumelwano phakathi kweenqwelo moya ezimbini zokwabelana ngolwazi ngexesha leengxoxo zokudityaniswa kufanele ukuba siphele ngoFebruwari 15 kwaye sinokunika umhla wokugqibela wesivumelwano, nangona isivumelwano sinokwandiswa.
Iinqwelomoya ezimbini zibambe uthethathethwano lokudibana noluntu kwezi nyanga zimbalwa zidlulileyo, kubandakanya nokubhengeza kwiveki ephelileyo ukuba bafikelele kwisivumelwano sokugqibela semibutho yabasebenzi. Imibutho emithathu emele uninzi lwabasebenzi baseMelika icele esidlangalaleni isivumelwano seMoya sase-US ukusukela ngehlobo elidlulileyo, emva kokuba iMelika inyanzelise isivumelwano kubasebenzi bayo.
INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- The two airlines have held very public merger negotiations over the course of the last few months, including announcing a week ago that they had reached a final tentative labor deal with unions at the two carriers.
- U-Baker uthe ayonelanga ukuba abalawuli baseburhulumenteni bavimbe isivumelwano ngeenjongo zokunciphisa ukhuphiswano, kuba inokuthelekiswa nelahleko yokukhetha eyenzekileyo kwizivumelwano zangaphambili.
- The PWC study found that airfares are up less than 2% a year since 2004, a slower rate of increase than the rise in airline fuel and labor costs.
