I'm not that smart so can someone explain to me how fuel this cheap is actually hurting us? I keep reading that the low fuel allows the legacy airlines to be more competitive on price & and how there is "compression" on later fare bookings.
If fuel is low, how is that not benefiting us as well?

I guess it helps us if we lower or ticket prices too, but I think BB has said that he didn't want to get into a price war either, so maybe our fares are staying pretty much the same, while everybody else drops.

Some analysts worry that cheap fuel may cause the airline industry to begin another cycle of over-expansion, which will eventually bite us. Management claims that they have learned their lesson and won't make that mistake again.

I mean, would it kill them to say hello in the terminals?, lol. I always wave and say hello and they just ignore me, it's like I'm talking to my wife 
(I'm over sensative, I know)
I also think JB following us everywhere is cute, imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. Imagine if they start charging for carry-ons........wait a second, lol

It may be worth mentioning that I've noticed folks from the very same airline(legacy, lcc & regional) don't even do the 'nod/hi' in the terminal and in some cases go out of their way to avoid "contact" lol. Although we all share the same "union" via job description, socially we're quite a bit different it seems IMO.

That being said, the guys that let me sit up front from GSO to PHL were probably the nicest guys I have ever met. So it's the same everywhere, good guys and bad at every airline...
