Or if he was talking about 117 and ORD.....in that case it doesn’t matter since ORD won’t work. Although I thought block time was less than 9 on that leg so. Not sure what 117 issue there is if the plane could make it...

I really believe UAL and AA are mortally wounded. Maybe not in the sense of absolute extinction, but perhaps each at no more than 50% of their former selves. We go to places like STL, PHX, DEN, BNA etc. and we are 5-10 tails for every one of the other companies. Our concourses and gates have semi-normal numbers of passengers, they're gates are closed or empty. TSA Throughput is rising rapidly and we are capturing traffic. If we play hardball, we may own half of the domestic market.

There is a rumor on a Chicago based blog that the city is quietly exploring the sale of Midway “and the number one candidate to buy it is Jeff Bezos at a now dramatically cut rate price.” Some are saying that SWA is aware of this and ORD is a way to hedge its bets.

Thank you for your concern. We actually have our scope where we want it currently. The cities you see those RJs flying to out of DEN are not cities where you guy and us currently compete. I’m sure the airport authority reports (broken out by individual airline/regional partner) departures/arrivals and I’m fairly certain we are not giving up Denver to anyone. If you are passing through DEN between UAL departure banks I can see how you might think we have shut the hub down. I passed through earlier this week from Billings and on to Florida and we were full of both passengers and gates. Had to park at the C concourse where we have a gate (the one just West of the ramp tower) that we have been using for around a year now.
