We'll put 757s all day into MDW... Let's see what happens...
It is unfortunate that we (SWA) are bumping up into some of the fortress hubs now but that is where the people are and they should have the choice to ding = be 'free to move around the country' rather than be held hostage by the fortress hub airline.
but, since we are going to places we used to avoid (PHL, IAD, DEN, MSP) are you really serious that you think flooding the routes and losing money is going to work for you. Are NWA (soon DAL) costs that much lower than SWA and your cash position and hedges so much better that you're looking forward to a price/capacity war?
I'm not, although if NWA does in fact flood MDW-MSP, I suspect that SWA will be able to still offer service at a price where we make money. do you think NWA will be making money?
I doubt you'll see us in MEM anytime soon though; not enough business and crappy O&D traffic. although CVG must be percolating up to the top of the 'next best city' list.
