Which bit of "most of the time" and "most airlines" didn't you understand?

2016 was the most profitable year in history for airlines, and EasyJet is one of the more profitable airlines. But if you look at the industry as whole, over time, rather than cherry pick your data, a different picture emerges. For example, the total profit made by the entire US airline industry over the entire period from 2001 to 2015 was negative.

The bit where I googled the first 3 airlines that popped into my head...

In a trading update, the budget airline (easy jet) said it expected pre-tax profits to be in the range of £490m to £495m for the 12 months to 30 September, compared with £686m the previous year, a decline of about 28%.


Ryan air
It remains on track to deliver full-year profits within its previously guided range of €1.3bn to €1.35bn,

Quantas

Australia's national carrier Qantas has posted record annual profits of A$1.42bn ($1.1bn, £820m), nearly doubling last year's result.

Ah so you are using retrospective data, I'm using modern day data from a random search.
Things are looking up (y)

Airline profits are notoriously cyclical, so multi- year analysis will always be superior to picking a single year.
 
United Airlines have now settled out of court with the gentleman in question, with a NDA on the amount
 
Actually much more sensible. Rather than pick a person and then haggle with them, hold a 'auction' with the whole plane.
It'll work out cheaper for them, as it's unlikely a whole plane of strangers will organise themselves to rinse the airline of $10k a seat. Someone will always break first.
 
Removing someone from an already loaded flight is unusual anyway. It's usually done at the gate before boarding, and the offers are (were) already generous.
From United last time, I got a business class flight to London 2 days later, car hire, 2 nights accommodation and meals at the St Francis hotel a round trip ticket to any destination they cover from the UK and $200 cash.
 
Well they won't do that again!

:D
