What makes you think I work for SWA? Nobody will be ahead of me. I love when you and the other 2 idiots answer me. You guys are so easy.

FWIW, I don't think they work for AirTran either.

We like to call it the citrus RJ corral, they should pack a bag the stay may be a long one.

Cheers Vato's

Just curious, what is the seat capacity of a 737-3 and 500's? The "RJ's" will be at 122 in new class. Seems to me there will be a LOT of RJ's!

So, you work for Colgan? Guess what? I don't.

Interesting, I will have to check SWAPALuv.com for clear and objective analysis regarding this SLI award.

THAT was funny! Thanks.

Pretty sure he meant it tongue-in-cheek...

Got a laugh out of me, too.

Did you Southwest pilots see the SLI award for Frontier and Republic? Another relative award with several totally different type companies. I don't think your staple dreams will come even remotely true. Take a look at the award if you have time. It will open your eyes, big time.

Look again.

The top of the list contains only two of the represented groups.
The bottom of the list contains only one group.

Ask a Midwest FO if there was a staple.

Midwest pilots had NO planes left. You can't compare them to the Airtran pilots, even though you wish to. The key for you is the mixture of the top two groups, kinda like your own 2 groups. Get it, yet? You will.

Small airline with 1700 pilots that is really considered a large regional

Maybe Airtran can sign a contract with Volaris to do some codesharing so Airtran can get some international exposure.

You are being bought because you cannot compete anymore.

My bad, I was confused to why Southwest announced they were cutting 37 daily Florida departures last March as Airtran continues to add more and more Florida capacity. You cleared that question up for me. Did you write the following article?

It is called strategery. They eliminated overlapping routes so the DOJ process is seemless and they optimized the flight schedule. It is a novel idea that has created nearly 40 years of profitability. You probably wouldn't be bought with chump change if your airline had the same type of forethought.

You are in severe denial if you think the flight cutbacks had anything to do with AirTran's competitive pressure. This was a well played strategic move and nothing more.
