The passenger numbers of will soar when we take the 717's and put them in better markets and replace them with -800's in Atlanta. Daily departures will go from 190 a day to around 320. It is going to leave a mark on the Professionals and that you can take to the bank.

That's what I'm talking about! A-Town will be soon be SWA-Town! Atlanta people could care less about the 70 year old Widget!

How's that "Southwest" effect work when you are #42 in line for takeoff? I thought SWA's business model was based on high productivity and quick turns? i haven't flown into ATL for a long time so I am just making the assumption they would have some pretty long lines during the peak travel times. (and, I don't think you can get ahead by taxing faster than the "Professionals", although it is NASCAR country!)

I would guess SWA will do about the same in ATL as MSP by way of comparison. I don't fly there either, so I don't have a clue. How did SWA do when they jumped into MSP? Did they dramatically increase the numbers there?

From what I observed, Southwest in MSP was just a few flies in the soup, Atlanta will look like a Biblical swarm of locusts.

The Southwest Effect is gonna help the A-T-L blow the doors off everyone for years to come.

Well it certainly will have the oldest cockpits per turn.

Some of us aren't lucky as you to be based in wonderful airports like, EWR, CLE or IAH.

Yep all 4 suck which is why I don't live in any of them. But they all have something in common; u have 2 be retarded to take pride in any of those cities. Congrats bro, ur town is the most diverse pile in all of Dixie.
