Oh yes I forgot, Continental, FedEx, and UPS are hiring but I am not Mr. Military so FedEx is clearly out and I lack the 2000 PIC and 2 dozen recomendations that the other 2 would require anyway.

FedEx is not "clearly out" as you describe. Many, Many civilian only folks there.

The only question is do you know someone well enough to take you in for a meet and greet, grip and grin, or whatever goofy name they want to call the pre-interview interview.

2 dozen recommendations??? Very funny. Don't give up 'cause you may be one recommendation away from getting the call. Really!

"I feel our customers will pay us more to fly on JetBlue because we deserve it," Neeleman said on a conference call. "We have a great product. Our customers love us. We have great market share. (But) we need to get another $10 or so per ticket."

Sorry to dissapoint you, but let's face it. PRICE RULES....There is no such thing as brand loyalty any more. Those days are kaput. I wish nobody in this biz bad will, there is enough of that going on here, but cash is king, and people are going to shop for the lowest fare, and bitch about it til they puke!

Let's charge more than $25 to go to BOS then.

They did and you've made money for now but those hedges are starting to expire. You may just find yourself in a different position in the future. Not that I would wish that on anyone, not even jerks like you that enjoy hardships of others.

Sorry to disappoint you but UAL has not failed. You may just be in for some competition that you didn't bargain for.

Hedges expire? = WRONG

Dude, we were talking about various cities SWA will serve in the future. I did not comment on Jet Blue losing money. I did not say anything about UAL. If you want me to I will, but I didn't. If you think the Southwest of today will be the Southwest of tomorrow, then you are wrong again. :eek:

I don't necessarily agree entirely with that statement. Sure for the backpack crowd and those using garbage bags for carry on's, yes.

Isn't it ironic though how people will spend $5 for a bottle of water, $4 dollars for a cheezy hot dog and $7 for a bag of those fancy nuts by the pound yet they whine about a $5 or $10 fare hike.

and my pension is intact (401k).

You consider your 401k a PENSION?!

I love you man!

Would you consider a ketchup packet a crew meal?

Why get a layover hotel? Those boarding lounges have mighty comfy chairs.

I heard you JBLU pilots are garbage pickers after the flight is done. That's awesome! Will you dump the lavs too?

Kudos for trying to get the FAR's changed to fly longer days too. The way I figure it, the extra revenue you generate for me flying over 8 hours will more than offset the cost of the occasional plane augering into the ground after the crew falls asleep.

I promise you. You and me. We're gonna be TIGHT!

Wow.

Do you have any idea what LUV is hedging? Do you think that the hedges are in Jet A? Do you know that Jet A doesn't trade on the futures market? Do you understand the term 'futures market?'

Never mind. I already know most of the answers.
