MDW Message. Sometimes stuff gets announced at the MTFs. I used the article to illustrate that Gary said maybe we'd go there some day. LGA-BOS, does anyone do that route? Maybe that day is this Fall? Just spitballing.
 
It is Bos- the company website had it then it was removed. I guess the forgot that Gary wasn't announcing until the Message to the Field tonite in MDW.
 
not enough white trash in boston to make it a viable departure city.

02-18-09 | Southwest Airlines Announces Future Service to Boston
Gary announced tonight at the MDW Message to the Field that Southwest Airlines plans to begin service to Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) sometime this fall. We have not released specific service details yet, but Southwest would like to begin operations at BOS this fall with a conservative number of flights. Check out SWALife and your EmployeeNews e-mail tomorrow morning for additional information regarding our decision to serve BOS.

With all the smoozy characters in Quincy and Braintree, we'll just tell them we're starting hourly service..........they will never know the difference.

I like your thinking.

Looking forward to some Harpoon Beer.

I think we're buying JetBlue.

We don't have to dress-up like indians do we?

Before long southwest is going to be another "real" airline going in to "real" cities with "real" labor problems and high costs.

Mark my words. Southwest is really getting away from the bread and butter that has served them well over the past 30 years.

In the end, when the fuel hedges are gone, and labor is too expensive, the LUV isn't gonna help. I am just curious, why do they feel the need to get away from a business model that has worked so well for so long?

If SWA converts to bio fuels, all the liberals in BOS will be flying on SWA to make them feel good that they are saving the environment. I hear that Barney Frank is all over this SWA situation, kind of like he was all over the FANNIE MAE and FREDDIE MAC regulation.

You will definitely own the BOS, PVD, ISP, BDL, and MHT area.........? It'll be like USAir in the late 90s...

Because that bread & butter is getting stale & rancid. Or, to use another tired cliche, the low hanging fruit has pretty much all been picked.

Now if SWA continued to do what they've always done, regardless of the ever-changing market....that's when they'd really start acting like a "real" airline.

Hows that international expansion working for ya!

"With demand for international trips in free fall, most U.S. and foreign airlines are cutting international service to and from the USA. "

I don't think we have cut much, except discontinuing Raleigh to Paris before it started. Really, we should have a fantastic Summer, and then we will have our normal Fall and Winter pull down, and then restart it all over again in the Spring. Enjoy BOS, I think your ontime arrival rate will rival SFO and PHL. I am certain you will say to yourself, "This, this, this, well, this is FANTASTIC."
