Southwest is considered a smart operator which will not dump stupid, low yielding capacity on a market as discussed by a number of industry analysts. Gary Kelly's costs are going up by the day and the only way to appease shareholders is to keep yields high. Same with Atlanta. Many people think that fares will come tumbling down. Wait until they see Delta with the lowest fares.

I think what would be best for Frontier is if the FAPA guys could have a do-over. Then you could be getting one of these in the mailbox:

Here we go again. I realize before I even begin to type that you are clueless and you prefer to remain clueless. You also appear to derive pleasure from other's apparent misfortune. I know that you will not be able to answer just one question with any factual basis, but what the heck...

Do what over?

MCI was built in the early 70s when security wasn't an issue. It was also built to the specs of TWA. TWA moved their hub to STL, before MCI was even finished, because they got a better $$$ deal from STL.

Except for the people they put out of work. They're hungry.

Yikes!

Would the 30-50% of our pilots who would have been furloughed have gotten one?
