No Time to Bleed... Earnings are Down!

Greetings inferior beings! It is I a Yautja of considerable experience in the...acquisition of trophies. But today I bring news that even chills my mandibles: American Airlines a metal bird used by humans to flit across the skies has retracted its 2025 financial guidance. Is the hunt getting lean? The Isom human says domestic leisure travel did a disappearing act faster than a cloaked hunter in the jungle! A warrior knows when the winds are shifting and these winds smell like fear and bad investments.

One Quarter No Cigar

The data is as ugly as a human without its skin! A paltry 0.7% increase in unit revenue buoyed only by international fares and those fancy premium seats. Seems even the weaker prey is holding onto its worthless paper currency. Delta and United... they are feeling the pinch as well. This is a dishonorable display. The hunt should always yield worthy trophies!

Revenue Down Capacity Up? What in the Blazes!

Forecasts are bleaker than a predator's stare. Revenue is expected to plummet even as their flying machines increase. They anticipate a 2% drop! Are they suicidal? Perhaps I should intervene... for research purposes of course. Wall Street expects 99 useless earth cents per share but these humans are looking at a miserable 50 cents to a single dollar! Pathetic.

First Quarter Bloodbath

Let's spill some blood metaphorically speaking! American Airlines posted a $473 million loss. $473 million!!! A year prior? A mere $312 million loss! This is madness! How can they hope to acquire superior technology to challenge us if they can't even manage their primitive transportation business? Their capacity was down almost a percent which means fewer chances to study their peculiar habits while in transit.

Corporate Travel Fails Tragedy Strikes

Their attempts to 'rebuild corporate travel' are laughable! A failed business strategy? As if they ever had one to begin with. The Isom human blames 'economic uncertainty' and a tragic incident where metal birds collided resulting in 67 less trophies to collect. They are as fragile as newborns.

The Hunt Continues... For Answers!

The question remains: what does this mean for the future? Will the hunt become more challenging or simply less rewarding? Only time and perhaps a few well placed plasma blasts will tell. Remember young bloods if it bleeds we can kill it...but what if it has no money to bleed out from in the first place?

    Maybe they should focus less on profits and more on safety.
