USA TODAY: Horizon into LAX

USA today puts up a picture of a Southwest plane and runs this article-->

LOS ANGELES, CA - APRIL 15: A Horizon airliner comes in for landing at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on April 15, 2008 in Los Angeles, California. With skyrocketing fuel prices and a weak economy, US airlines are turning to mergers which could ultimately lead to higher fares through reduced flights and increased market power. US carriers emerged from a five-year slump in 2006 but with $35 billion in losses. In the latest merger move to save profits, Delta Air Lines Inc will buy Northwest Airlines Corp for more than $3 billion, creating the world's biggest airline. Recent profit challenges to the industry have lead to the shutdown of ATA, Skybus, and Aloha Airlines as well as bankruptcy for Frontier Airlines.

So 3 months ago Horizon was flying Southwest 737's into LAX? good Lord, try to pay attention.

I guess my point is that the media is really not paying attention to detail in our industry. They are going with wild generalizations. The conclusions they reach have nothing to do with research.

ie. put a picture of a Southwest 737 up and call it Horizon into LAX: "PROBLEMS FOR AIRLINES!!!"

Thats right, first order of business is to park all of those thirsty 737 and go to an all Q400 fleet.
