SWA Plans Adding 25 International Flights from FLL

[Flopgut]

It's a twisted world when I find myself rooting for purple and puke orange on an FI thread.

It's fine we don't share an opinion Andy. Frankly I wish we weren't sharing the same seniority list either. I don't wish you any ill will, but as you well know United is where careers go to die, and I wish this merger was not. SWA sure as hell wouldn't have pulled this off without a change in the City of Houston's feeling toward our airline.

Bubba appreciates you siding with him. However, don't forget that after giving Denver the finger in the 90's, SWA marched right back in in 2006. After United lost airplanes on 911, and the ATSB snubbed you, and after your contract was abrogated and pensions were stolen. That was the perfect invitation for SWA, cause that's what they do. Sh1tty things happen to a legacy and then they appear. If the opposite were true and our airline was stalking the SWA ruins, Herb k would lash himself to the front door of Congress and bawl and complain to high Heaven.

Your actually bitching about a successful American company that has 41+ years of CONSECUTIVE profits without going thru the carwash of bankruptcy like your company did? Again, laughable Flop.

I'm sure every one of those 41 years were just handed to us. Unbelievable. Keep posting, you sound more and more pathetic with each post.

So, did you guys promise something to your bosses to get them to not stay neutral in your SLI? Not smart if so.

1. No, we didn't.

2. This has zippity-crap to do with this HOU discussion, but then again, you don't seem to know any better.

3. Try not to be such a putz. I know it's hard, but you could at least try.

1. As far as I know, Andy agrees with me only on this issue. It's probably because he's not as blinded with hatred as you seem to be.

2. We didn't give Denver the finger; they gave us the finger by jacking up our rates. We acted accordingly, and financially prudently, back then.

3. We came back to Denver because they essentially begged is to, and offered us a longer term deal. We decided we could make money there, and expanded greatly, much to the airport authority's delight. Now you're complaining that we offered service to a city that wanted and needed it. How awful of us. It seems like you think that Southwest perpetrated 9/11 to further our business at the legacies' expense. I do believe you're losing it now, Flop.

4. You're more than welcome to "stalk Southwest's ruins," whatever that means. Please, knock yourself out. I swear that nobody from Southwest will "complain to high heaven" about it. In fact, you can offer any service you want, between any city pairs, and from any airport that you want. We even promise to not try to tell you what airports you should be "allowed" to fly out of, like you guys tried to do. Fly wherever you want, and work your business model the way you see fit, with no interference from us.

5. Stop whining so much, and get to competing. I just want to say, "Good luck--we're all counting on you."

Okay dumb asses , if you haven't ready figured it out, General Lee works for SWA. How would anyone have so much info on our operation? Do I give a ******************** to follow DAL's daily operation? No, nor do I really care. NEXT...

SWA is spending 100 mil. They stuck the City with 50 mil for a parking garage. Which may or may not pay for itself.

We "stuck" them with no such thing. They agreed to pay for the parking garage so that they would get all the revenue. It was in their best interest. Not only will the garage more than pay for itself (and in short order), but the airport will make more money due the new international passenger traffic. You seem to have missed the part where airports look for and encourage more and more passenger traffic. I believe it's the whole point of an airport. It's what they do.

Bubba: You are always spring loaded to jump on my posts. Always heaping on twice the words it requires to TRY to make ur point. You're full of crap. You're the largest airline in the US because of the sh1tty things that happened to UAL and AA. That's it. Sorry. I know you'd like to take a victory lap and explain to the world how special and great you are, but it isn't the truth. If the clock ran out to zero and we had to tally everyone's career score right now, you guys wouldn't be close to stepping out on top. You wouldn't even be in the discussion. A couple decades doing what you're doing now? Maybe, but probably not. Right now, not even close.

Flop, you are a Continental pilot...the airline that is built on Chapter 11 and conducting shady business practices that are the worst in the entire industry. Sure SWA pilots built their airline by flying more for less money and foregoing a good retirement plan. Well guess what..the CO pilots flew for even less with no retirement for many years. Even worse, they were put in a very difficult situation and when they finally started making OK, but still less than industry standard wages and benefits you criticized them for flying beyond age 60. As if they were wrong for trying to recoup some of what they lost by not having a full career at normal wages!
You pretty much hate everyone but yourself.
