What information are you looking for? Judging by your public info you are not sharing anymore than anyone else. How about dropping your name and file # like you buddy Bosley.

Should I start throwing you guys the "herb turd driver" moniker since he likes to use "Yo Nited"?

Get your own whackos in order.

MRflicker, go get a life, stop PM'ing me.
 
Everyone is trying to get Mr. Kelly to jump out of his box. I see him sticking to the business plan, and doing what Southwest has always done. Wall Street wants you to run up a bunch of debt, declare bankruptcy, and stiff everyone you owe money to. Then they want you to come out of bankruptcy with a new stock symbol so they can cash in on the IPO. It's all about the pump and dump to them. They are all probably selling their Legacy stock right now while buying LUV at a discount. I'm sure they will be at club tonight laughing over brandy and cigars.
 

Short haul ie 737 flying. Doesn't matter where you are going in it, it is uncomfortable, noisy and not that great a flying airplane. I don't know about the new ones but the 200's, 300's and 500's were not where you want to spend a long day. It is cramped, hot in the summer and cold in the winter-due to the door 1l being almost in the cockpit and that single pack on the APU was really lame for any use of a/c on the ground. What I love is that SWA has to dumb down the airplane because they are too cheap to adapt to new tech. Round dials on a glass display? How retro.

Dude, Its about making money. Its about the 5th and the 20th of every month. Most guys at other carriers go for the bigger planes cus they happen to pay more. At SWA its all the same, baby! $$$$ I'm not f^cking the airplane, I'm just flying it.

You represent the change in the industry. Back in the day we hired pilots that like flying airplanes. Most of have small airplanes of our own that we tinkered with. Today it is the crowd that does this job without a care for what is strapped behind them. No finese on the controls, brakes or idea.

I still would not want to fly a 737 with the single pack operation on the APU. PP design by Boeing on that one.

If you work at SWA and you don't like how the airplanes are operated, you should know who you can talk to about that....

If you don't work at SWA and don't like how the airplanes are operated....why do you let it bother you?
