Anyone Concerned about the SWA strategy switch?

Imagine some of those Air Tran FA sistas in SWA shorts during the summer - yeah, not so pleasant - but pretty PHAT...

Thanks! I just spewed some milk on my monitor....

Congrats to the AAI folks - I couldnt be happier for ya. I know some good people in MCO Dispatch; only problem is now that it will just be that much more difficult to get into SWA Dispatch....

Let's just hope that the SWA culture does not take on any of Air Tran's customer service skills - have you ever met the AT gate agents in ATL? Terrible would be a compliment.

I totally agree! The integration will be easy compared to the daunting task of teaching customer service skills to the tranny gate agents! You hire good personalities, it's hard to teach it!

Also, taxi speeds will be a little different in Atlanta for LUV.

Sometimes you have to switch hands or even try the "stranger." It all works out in the end.

May be brilliant, may be good, may be a bad move.... time will tell. I have read nutz and anyone who doesn't see the departure of SWA from it's original strategy is delusional.
I suppose nuts is like stock picking though, everyone is an expert when looking back, and nuts never purported to be the roadmap for SWA forever. Time will tell....

I am a SWA supporter, SWA has treated me wonderfully since day one, and believe in our company. However, I believe we closed the book on Nutz years ago.

Companies need to evolve in order to survive and grow . Anyone know what 3M stands for?

That's true, it's just how during the 90's they claimed that the hub and spoke, fly to the big cities, serve food and pre assign seats, and fly more than one type of equipment was what was wrong with the majors.
Now, except for the food and assign seats, they've joined what they claimed was wrong with the industry.

3M is as relevant as SW is in SWA.
