Not to worry, I'm sure WN fully intends to serve Hartsfield whenever we finally pull the trigger on the A-T-L. Anyone know how many gates NW currently occupies?
That is wrong. Source for your numbers is requested.From what numbers I have seen - those good old nines are WAY cheaper to run on the routes - even with the high fuel burn because they are paid for.
AirTran would be G O N E if NWA had not paid out $270,000,000.00 plus to bail out MidWest.
With Millions of people living in Cobb County, trust me Dobbins is one hot piece of Real Estate. Soo much so, the city of Atlanta and Delta Airlines will go to whatever extent possible to make sure it doesn't happen. But this is SWA, the same airline who got rid of the Wright Ammendment, so anything is possible. Dobbins is a money maker waiting to be exploited. SWA and DAL don't really compete in SLC but on like 3 routes (the rest are RJs). Because of you General, DAL is not the weakest legacy. Easier battles at the moment for SWA, but if we end up in ATL, then you better get working General because this means SWA has noticed something that isn't working. Like with USAirways and UAL.
By the way...Islip is not used as a replacement for NYC. Long Island is home to over 2 million people. Enough people in Long Island to support SWA service without counting NYC. Islip is not a NYC replacement, it's an independent market from NYC.
I wouldn't say that "anything" is possible when it comes to WN. Just ask the folks in Seattle how that BFI operation is working out. The Wright Amendment was a stupid piece of federal legislation - local governments are not so easily swayed when it comes to protecting their own.
WOW, that tale is fantastic. Can't wait to see it. Did you really get rid of the Wright Ammendment? Not really. You still can't fly nonstop to most States except to the listed States (mostly contiguous around Texas except Alabama and Missouri I think), but now you can fly a "through" flight. How long will that go again? 8 years total? You sorta changed it. That was still a win win for American Airlines and DFW airport.
BTW, JFK is fairly close to Islip, and Jetblue and Delta do take some people from Long Island to far away places. Southwest doesn't "own" Long Island. But, you can have Ronkonkoma. Enjoy those layovers boys!
