Was reading an interview in the Rocky Mountain News with United’s SVP of Planning, Kevin Knight that Chris Walsh did this last weekend, and at the end of the question and answers, I saw this comment from Knight.

Chris Walsh: “Speaking of Ted, how is it doing?

Kevin Knight: “Ted was developed very specifically for certain markets where our customers are traveling primarily for leisure. That’s how we deployed Ted. In Denver currently it’s nine markets. We think Ted’s probably about the right size at the present time.”

Uh-huh. Right. Anyone else notice the past tense use of “deployed”?

Anyone willing to make a bet that United suddenly announces an expansion of Ted?

Nah, I didn’t think so. 

Ted, another fine product of the “Feed the Hungry Consultants” project. (This is an ongoing for-profit venture the airline industry continues to generously fund year in, year out.)
