Is there a market for SWA out of MSP? Doesn't seem to be too many trailer parks up here:laugh:

But are there many WalMart's?

Please, for the love of God... I think I speak for all FedEx pilots on the board... please don't come to MEM...

I'm pretty sure Western TN has tons of tornado targets. Probably top of our list right?

Many of WalMart's whats?

It wasn't a knock on you guys. The way our accepted fares/deadheading options work, I would rather not see SWA flying into MEM.

At least MSP will offer an exciting alternative to ELP or Jackson, MS for the pilots.

There goes your accepted fares down the toilet.

Okay all you LAS commuters, Don't get any ideas. The MDW commute sucks big time. Really, I wouldn't even think about it if I were you.

 

[fiel12]

I'll have access soon enough.

Dude, What do you mean? I thought you said WN wasn't going to hire anyone for years.

 

[GuppyWN]

Ought to be fun. I'm thinking MDW, LAS, and DEN to start.

Gup

 

[SKYWRJGUY]

CVG will come soon as well.

General where are you! I know I know we wont be able to compete with the new Delta.

This is EXACTLY the type of things I said would happen to the "new" Delta. The unforeseen. What will WN grow into in MSP? The state of MN cannot be happy with DAL taking away corporate HQ. Wait until all of the old former NWA leases come up on the gates. I'm sure Delta will be able to compete in a bidding war with Southwest. Not. Not to mention the public outcry over lack of competition in the MSP market. WN can expand into DTW, MEM, CVG......oooohhhhh. The possibilities are endless.

Now we just need the general and SuperKoolAidDrinker92 to come on and tell us how "everything will be fine and dandy. The SLI will create love and harmony, and we will never shrink and furlough."

The new route map is already shrinking.

It would do both of you some good. Play well with others.

SWA is toast, Delta's gonna throw those DC9's and some RJ50's at you.

SWA thinks they're all cute with climbs to 410 and direct to fixes half way across the nation. Well, they've not seen the DC9 request a heading until they pick up the VOR and level of at 240. Burning 5,000lbs an hour, hah, the DC9 can top that, try 3,500 a side baby!

Watch our smoke, literally.

Oh' by the way, could you carry our bags? The RJ gets weight limited a lot.

I see whaty you're sayin'. However when we go into a city we typically go with lots of flights. Don't know if that helps for Jumpseating or not.
