Best wishes to all in Denver...Southwest going for the KILL..Most likely Frontier will be gone before the years end.
You couldn't just say, "Best Wishes" and leave it at that? Another prediction. SW is not in a position to pick up all the slack in Denver. Oh, they will grow that's for sure. However, even with their cheap tickets, capacity will shrink and prices will go up in Denver...that will help us out. The whole purpose of our cutbacks is to make sure we get through the slow down of the fall/winter travel months. With the cut backs we''ll be around longer than you think. Even the doom and gloom "experts" are starting to acknowledge we'll be around. Yes, we will be a "whole different animal" compared to what you see today. Our present managment is not the same group of people (for the most part) who helped get us into this mess...fuel prices high or not. If not for the new group I dont think we would even be around today...definitely not by summers end. I'm sure they have factored $150'ish oil prices into their equation. I know, oil can only go so high and then we are done. No official details have been released as of yet, but I'm hoping that in the next few weeks we'll get exact numbers pertaining to cutbacks company wide. Our WARN letters go out Monday; however, receiving one doesn't mean one is being let go. I also know our Union and management are have been meeting for some time now with regards to furloughs. They are looking at Long term LOA'S, reducing line values, etc...in order to save jobs. I'd rather stay here with cutbacks than be out on the streets looking for a flying job right now. We'll keep our fingers crossed.
