It's been said before, but the article shows how even the media now, knows Southwest is no longer the "darling" of the industry.

Southwest Airlines, once a rebel, shows its age - - MSN Money

Im anxiously waiting for more DALPA correspondence. On the Fidelity website there are 2 older letters.

Thanks, just got an email from DALPA on this very subject. I should have waited two hours.

I thought I remembered reading the money went to an annuity if no election was made. I wanted to make sure I didn't forget to make an election. What an expensive mistake it would be having the money grow at 2% for the next 22 years.

Thanks for the response 10YG

This is the winner, they could care less about the bases....its all about cabotage!

Don't think this is a threat to them, look how hard it is to convince some already about unions....the carriers will just threaten to close the base and the rank and file will fold.

And how on God's green earth did you get that from my post? I'll try to simplify it for ya. I am skeptical that this will result in much upward movement.... if it is merely replacement aircraft, I couldn't care less if they order more aircraft. Better?

It is April 2cnd. Lift up a prayer, thought, or glass to the families and friends of the Gulfstream Flight Test G650 out in Roswell NM three years ago today. Several of us on this board lost close friends that day. God bless their families.

There is a complete explanation of the entire process out today. The window is 15 Apr to 13 JUN. If married you need a notarized letter from the wife.

A couple of Europe Spring Break questions. Do our hotels in Paris and London offer us a deal and do I just call to ask? Is nor revving on Air France cheaper or "easier" than other carriers? I looked up an interline rate on travelnet for an AF flight and it was several hundred dollars for CDG LHR. Can I intl JS? Anybody had luck doing Orbitz or Priceline the day of or day before for decent rates?

Thanks, leaving in about 9 days
