Welcome to the Dirty South.

 

[Crash Pad]

What kind of fly by night operation doesn't fly to Atlanta? It's only the largest city in the Southeast.

 

[Jar Jar]

Cool, hope you fill up all your seats for the next 3 years at $40.

Meanwhile everyone else can focus on turning a profit.

 

[Bake]

There is NO WAY Southwest can be profitable at that. Haven't they lost like millions in the last few years. How much longer will they be around? I feel sorry for those guys, maybe somebody will buy them and save them from themselves.

Bakes avatar makes me want to become a Pirate. Is it too late ?

 

[redflyer65]

Never too late. But you might need that Glock in the other avatar!

Never too late. But you might need that Glock in the other avatar!

I've been making a list of pros and cons for 'Pirate':

1. Parrot - Like

2. Hat - don't like

3. Pillaging etc. - Like

4. Black Flag with skull - Like

5. Going back to (Pirate) school - don't like

6. Hook - Like for a few minutes but not like long term.

7. Pirate Beard - Like


Do you think they'll let me keep my seat ?

 

[redflyer65]

Let me just say this...

The hook would be bad if your girl left you!

Oh, and...

8. Drink rum all day, everday - Like

The hook is an excellent accessory at social events. The ladies seem to be quite fascinated ( I've been wearing one since I had this idea)

I cant believe I forgot the Rum. It appears we will be able to work as a team after all.

 

[redflyer65]

When all said and done...you'd better believe it buddy.

Here's to another 40yrs!

Cheers.

 

[Dolce]

For all that's not holy...SWA and AT pilots joking together? Next there will be human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria! I want and live for the vitriol and hate generated on FI, but rum and a hook would be cool!

Delta customer satisfaction plunges

Customer satisfaction with Delta Air Lines Inc. plunged in an annual survey that was released Tuesday.
Delta was ranked lowest among all of the carriers rated in The American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI).
Atlanta-based Delta (NYSE: DAL) received 56 points out of 100. The next closest was U.S. Airways with 61 points. Southwest Airlines finished first with 81 points.

Delta’s score was 9.7 percent lower than last year, when it had 62 points. It was the second consecutive year that Delta’s score dropped.
Last year, Northwest Airlines was ranked second-worst in the index with a score of 61, one point worse than Delta. Delta bought Northwest in 2008 and completed integration of the deal last year.
“Airline mergers typically have a destructive effect on passenger satisfaction,” Claes Fornell, founder of the ACSI, said in a news release. “In 2005, US Airways fell 8 percent to an industry low following its merger with America West , and now Delta falters in the same way.”
Ann Arbor, Mich.-based ACSI said overall satisfaction with the airline industry droopped 1.5 percent, from 66 points in 2001 to 65 this year.
ACSI said that’s “a very low score that keeps getting worse.”
“Poor service, higher fuel prices, and fees for baggage and other services are contributing to discontent among travelers,” ACSI said in a news release

Nice Job!!

The nicest thing I can say about DL is they're consistent. I am always underwhelmed ,,, from check-in to baggage claim.

Great. Now ATL talk/sports radio will go from 300 "Delta is your hometown airline that brought back the redcoats" commercials a day to 750.
