Unprecedented cost-revenue gap, started before 9-11 Airline crisis is unprecedented – current price levels appear consistent with long term trends Unit Revenue and Cost Trend (U.S. Industry) Unit Revenue (RASM) Unit Cost (CASM) Cents Per Available Seat Mile(c/ASM) (Adjusted To 2001 Dollars) CASM decline: RASM decline: 1979–1992: 1.5%pa 1979–1992: 1.8%pa CASM increase: RASM increase: 1993–1998: -1.0%pa 1993–1998: +0.6%pa Risk that revenues will revert to “old” trend line Note: CASM reduction Q3 2002 somewhat overstated due to accounting effects Source: Company Financial Statements, Back Associates, BAH Analysis RPUS1747-0126-011303v1.ppt

A new business model may emerge that closes 70-80% of the cost gap and re-establishes product differentiation • Random hubbing • Improved asset productivity • Reduce TAT and handling complexity • Alter trade-off between efficient operation and optimum connectivity • Separate simple from complicated tasks; apply tailored process streams • Reduce low-value interactions with staff • Simplify reservation, ticketing, check-in Restructure Network / Hub Operations to Remove Scheduling Constraints(“Below the Wing Processes”) Simplify Customer Interface at the Airport and in Distribution(“Above the Wing Processes”) Reduce complexity, increase pace • Lower Cost • Differentiated Services • Viability Provide specialized services and appropriate schedule qualities Achieve pure business streams • High service levels where needed or expected (local vs. connectivity) • Low-cost service levels where possible (high-value vs. low-value customers) Create Separate Business Systems for Distinct Customer Segments(“Product Differentiation”) RPUS1747-0126-011303v1.ppt
A new industry structure may emerge – or the next crisis will be a repeat on steroids New Business Model Incremental Evolution • 2-3 new network based carriers emerge by continent • 1 or 2 random hubs each • Many centers of mass a la SWA • Greater focus on non-stop services • 1-2 low costs carriers by continent • Regional carriers that perform two missions • Feed for limited number of random hubs • Point to point flying in business and smaller markets • Network carriers stick to current business model • Continued share loss to LCCs • Low cost subs fail again • Regional operators take over larger proportions of network • 1-2 low cost carriers succeed by continent • Regional carriers pick up failing routes, remain more focused on feed • Next crisis is an amplification of current one RPUS1747-0126-011303v1.ppt
