Maybe I do ? Integrated Seniority List (ISL). I thought the list handed down by the Arbiters was the ISL, and the SLI was the process.

I think ISL is the term being used here. I'm open to being wrong.

Help me out here. Are you saying that this schedule is sounding a retreat from ATL?

I put a random DAL price in bold for 3 weeks from now in there:

$99 each way between ATL and HOU - three daily nonstop roundtrips $103.50 each way

$79 each way between ATL and MDW - four daily nonstop roundtrips $94 each way

Actually, doable. For one DAL will lower it's price on these routes but the question is how many of SWA seats will really be at this price? Seems like when I look at SWA tickets there is say 10 or 20 tickets at a reduced price and the rest are high. So maybe DAL won't lower it's prices much which it's kind of what we thought in that there wouldn't be a price war.

So this is a good thing imho for both sides.

$29 or $39 each way would've been a problem. This is good.

What is your short and long term goals when it comes to competing with AirTran?"
