ah HA!

This is just a trick to staff NYC.

Nobody wants to be the jerk who makes new hires commute to probie interviews.

No kidding the Texas legislature has leaving the United States on their agenda for the next session.

Not sure if we could base there. I was thinking of a “Berlin Airlift” situation where we bring in books & birth control. They could trade us Brisket and BBQ.

exactly. I bought 7 round-trip tickets for the family AUS to LIR on AA, no RJ's involved.

Fair, I’ll take our profitability over theirs and assume Glen knows what he’s doing.

You missed the part where that post was pre Covid when in fact the BOS Chief had been ID’d and was in NYC shadowing their CPO.

We made lots of strategic mistakes by being overly conservative with covid staffing and fleet reductions. The result was billions and billions and billions in increased costs and missed revenue, and degradation in reliability. But, hey, we are still better than AA overall, so our leaders must be infallable.

He’s happy watching AA trip over Southwest’s network while trying to **** off Delta.

Remember that AA’s focus city was announced a week after Glen said we were doubling down on AUS. They opened it in October 2021 and it finished Q122 with load factors in the 30-40%’s. I don’t think the 4th floor is losing any sleep.

Meanwhile my extended family have enjoyed the $60 fares on the TUL nonstop.

AUS is basically just served from the hubs and at this point I doubt we have the necessary capacity to try and compete with AA there or WN for that matter.
We gave gates up in AUS. That went away with COVID. We will continue to not have a base presence in Texas or the Southwest.
