Thx for the good laugh!

This should be the very first thing any company in the business of locking customers away from cell towers does.

Max pay to the last day.

terrible Wi-Fi that WN charges per leg . 16-24 bucks for something that does not work .

I believe they do this on purpose in order to reduce demand on the system. They know if they gave it away free it would crash the network every leg.

we need to stop being cheap and start offering a great product. the current mgmt is unable to adopt this mindset and must go.

Nobody has been bought. The writing has been on the wall for ATL since BNA opened. It was either compete against the worlds most formidable competitor in their home turf and continue to get beaten or redeploy that capacity where it will make money. I don't like it because this decision hurts labor and will effect many people personally, but it is what it is.
ATL has been a distressed property since day 1. They have tried to throw various things against the wall to make them stick, but it always gets walked back in the end. You just can't compete against Delta in Atlanta. They won't allow it just like SWA defends its turf in its mega stations. SAN and STL have had more departures than ATL for a while now.

Time to buy Breeze, absorb the A220s (and order more) and cancel the 737-7 orders.

The legroom on the -700 sucks just as much as the legacies. I honestly can’t tell a difference.

Obviously you haven’t been back there in a while. It’s just as uncomfortable especially if someone reclines in-front of you, no service other than tiny biscoffs plus you have the former spirit flyers back there too. Almost no difference.

I was talking about SWA buying AirTran. Now that they're giving up in ATL what is left of that deal?
