ASA moving CRJ-200s to MEM? Rumor

[General Lee]

Not if they reduce all the DCI flying in ATL.

Imagine that, actually fighting Southwest with DL MAINLINE planes? Really? Fight 737s with A319s moved from MEM? Sounds like a better idea. We'll see.......

Southwest couldn't even beat US Airways up in PHL. They'll get a good smacking in ATL.

Nothing beats Randezvous in MEM!!!!!!!! Best ribs I ever had.

It's Rendez-vous. And I think Corky's on Poplar is better.

Bingo! What they are trying to do in the face of a Southwest onslaught is move as many 1st class seats through ATL as possible.

SWA onslaught? SWA is bringing the total number of flights in ATL DOWN to 175 total per day, and to fund that purchase and pay increases for local ATL employees (all employees) they will have to keep fares higher. They aren't a LCC anymore, and everyone knows it. But, they don't have bag fees! (even though the fares are often higher)

I don't think it will change for ASA that much. AirTran had business class and a more comparable domestic product to DAL than Southwest, yet DAL didn't reduce RJ capacity then. I could be wrong, but I just don't see it happening.

To the basic consumer, reality matters little. Perception will win, atleast for a little while. They (SWA) will eat those cost for a while, and if the demand increases, so will the price.
The bargin buyer/flier will buy whatever ticket is cheapest.

Eventually they hype will fade for SWA in ATL.
