BTW kudos to whomever started the "AE will be out on the 7th" rumor. I feel like a kid who wakes up on Christmas to find that Santa isn't coming. I was looking forward to a week's worth of 24/7 in-depth AE analysis.

So glad we did not merge with US Air.
So now will come the SWA bubbas reminding us how much more they make than we do. Personally, I wouldn't trade places with their number 1 captain... point is.. it is NOT always about the W2.

And I can still smell the champagne from when Dougie pulled his offer....

All this talk of scope and more 70 / 76 seaters coming. How do you guys think COMAIR going away by half plays into that. Also the purchasing of more 90's and pulling 75 or bigger out of the desert?

I have a buddy that started on Jan. 5th, SWA's first new class in a long time and their network director passed on to them "IF I were Delta I'd be very sacred in Atlanta". Any thoughts??

And they would have to PAY for that too.... or at least they'd better have to.

Orange juice, meet monitor... yeah, I'm soooo afraid of SWA. What he didn't tell your buddy is that he won't see the left seat for 15 years.

Any way to research why you were not given a swap with pot. Put in to drop on the 9th and pick up on the 18th to increase sch for 3 hours. Both trips were denied. Called the CPSC and they said that there was adequte reserve coverage when I did not get the swap on the first try and said to try again. Seems like something is not quite right here. Also one of the trips went away before a sch run. How does that happen??

After reading again what he said, I agree.

That's what you would expect them to say. It's always a "mine is bigger than yours" type of thing to fire up the new guys and reinforce upon them that they made the right decision, especially when the competition is hiring.

I think SWA is expecting us to roll over like UAL did in their home hub of DEN (I know they are ORD based). We compete well against SWA and our fares are very competitive. They have a great ad program and more than a few friends in the government to make their life easier. We will be wary but don't expect us to be frightened.
