Lets be honest, before SWA decided to buy AT, who made any posts about AT?

That's your debate? Haha. Thanks for the laugh General. We are actually saving 300 million a year buy getting rid of the 717, so thank YOU.

When the full AAI integration is complete, those guys from the other terminal that you beat up on for so long will be making MORE than you. And that's FANTASTIC!

Old planes? You fly DC9's. That's funny. Oh, and 80% of our airframes are completely paid off. 3+ billion in the bank. I think we will be okay. And we don't have 10 billion in debt.

Red,

Congrats! You outsourced some more new flying to people who your airline pays less, for the same plane! Hey, it's cheaper to do it, and SWAPA allows it........unbelievable....

Southwest Airlines Announces New Service Between Denver And San Jose Del Cabo/Los Cabos, Mexico Operated By Airtran Airways



DALLAS, Dec. 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- It's already time to put a bow on Spring Break travel plans and set sights South of the Border as Southwest Airlines and wholly owned subsidiary AirTran Airways announced today new international flights between Denver International Airport and SJD Los Cabos International Airport in Baja California, Mexico.
AirTran daily service on the new route begins March 10, 2013, and is open for sale now at both airtran dot com and southwest dot com with introductory fares as low as $189 one-way. These fares must be booked by 11:59 p.m. PST on Jan. 1, 2013, for travel between March 12, 2013, and April 24, 2013 (sale fare valid for travel Tuesdays and Wednesdays). See full fare rules below.

"As we continue preparations to connect the Southwest and AirTran route networks beginning early next year, we are excited to add another nonstop travel option to Mexico alongside our strong portfolio of domestic nonstop service in Denver," said Bob Jordan, Southwest Airlines' Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer and AirTran Airways President. AirTran began nonstop flights between Denver and Cancun in April.





REALLY? How can you have seperate groups, paid differently, on the same equipment, FOR YEARS???? WHY WOULD SWAPA ALLOW THAT? Oh, that's right, it's an "IT problem......." WOW..... And RED is in favor of this??? SWAPA should have been all over this, saying the big NO to seperate payscales. NOT GOOD.



Bye Bye---General Lee

Where did this myth come from that the General was rude to AirTran guys prior to the merger? The General has never been anything but friendly to me, for years before the merger was announced. And I can't remember any anti-AirTran posts from him.

Ty Webb and I used "debate loudly" back after 9-11. But, we became civil well before your SWA merger, or whatever you want to call it.....

Too bad we can't put FOs on our avoidance bid list...it goes both ways and Freight started slinging the mud...

He was part of the Morris deal. Got LUCKY - like y'all.

Enjoy your "ass raping" PCL... I'm sure GK and the boys love the way you talk/type about Southwest. Advice: try to Lay low. (impossible, I know) The most vocal 4 year FO in the history of aviation.
