Supposedly, there was to be no mainline growth until 2006, I think? Maybe the deliveries are to offset the loss of the two -300's we're parking? Or, the Airbuses are a rumor carrot? Even if we get those two Airbuses this year, we're still down a net of 3 mainline birds, all of them -200's, while the plans are sitting at 12 super-big "little" jets by December.
Over the last month, my personal experience load factors have been 85-90% (with three exceptions). I guess I just don't get "the big picture."
Cheers!

Boy, I tell ya. Some of you guys have to really do your homework on Southwest. A 12 year captain flying 80 hours a month makes about 217,000/yr. Not including stock options or profitsharing. Not too shabby for a 73.

General Lee said:Embdrvr,
This isn't a thing you should be joking about. Sure, expansion is nice, but look what the management of Skywest is trying to pull. Comair and ASA will try to follow if Skywest succeeds. Jobs at the Majors will be harder to get when they start hiring again someday, and the pay is falling at the regional level. The pay at the LCC's aren't exceptional either, although Southwest's is good. But, atleast they will be flying the 90 seaters to SEA, where they should go get some tasty chowder.
Bye Bye--General Lee![]()
