Brilliant move, mods <sarcasm>. Really thought this one through, didn't you? <sarcasm again>
If this is to be "aviation only" then why is the YGBSM forum still open???

I would think that Love would be closed to commercail traffic, as was originally intended with the inception of DFW, as was Southwest Dallas, Meacham and the other local airfields.
I know that SWA doesn't like the idea of the costs involved in having to move to DFW, but I am sure that the existing airlines in the Dallas/Fort Worth area , at the time, didn't like it either when they were forced to move to the new DFW airport.
How would SWA feel if they had to pay an...
OK makes sense. Being that I always comply right away, I didn't consider that others might not and need the time to ensure that they all were turned off.
Can anyone explain why it is that on a commercial airline, passengers are asked to turn off all cell phones BEFORE they can leave the gate and taxi, yet after touchdown passengers are allowed to turn them on while taxiing from the rwy to the gate? Why is taxi out bad but taxi back OK? Just...
But aren't they competing now? Same city, just different fields. And they want SWA to move to DFW, even offering deals on the gates. So wouldn't THAT also be competing? Sorry, but there are many sides to the WA, both pro and con, but the assertion that "AMR doesnt want to compete" is a bit...
Chase,
Yes, it was just a question of the tone. Thanks for not comming out with both barrels blasting. It was an honest question. I think that it would be ill advised to bring this issue up as a "repeal or we will leave" platform. Just wanted to illustrate how it was sounding...
Chase,
You have the distinction here as being one of the more rational and level headed posters on flightinfo.com. But, I have to say that the opening post has a bit of an extortionist ring to it...
"Repeal the WA, ...or else!"
Is this really the tone Southwest Airlines wants to take in...
I would answer to that, while a president was getting a BJ (and NOT doing his job) the deaths of 3000 people in NYC were being planned and executed. So maybe you shouldn't go there either.:uzi:
Freedom of speech does NOT give someone the right to use obscene language. I do believe there are...
I heard a radio ad this morning that was the response to SWA's recent ad campaign for the WA repeal. I have to say, regardless of anyone's position on the WA, this ad-sponsored by DFW- didn't sit well with me.
The reason? It seemed to be trying to masquerade as coming from SWA! It used the...
Sound to me like that Ops Chief is more concerned with playing CYA than saving peoples lives. These guys were faced with a situation that had radically changed from the original scenario and made an educated decision based on training, judgement, and experience. I thought that was what we wanted...
