Hi!

SEA WAS nice (I went there twice on the train when I was a kid), but we weren't there very long.

Just finished a trip with about a 20 hours of flying/duty (SEA-MCC-DAL-YIP)-trying to avoid those in the future!

It's a secret plot to eliminate Southwest, hatched by all the legacy carriers who have conspired to plant special agents in key positions on the Southwest BOD.

If it ever did happen, not in a million years would the U.S. Air management be the group that took control over the combined entity.

What would WN get from a merger that they can't do on their own? A few routes to Europe and a whole 19 widebodies?

No matter what SWA decides, it is obvious that the stake in ATA was nothing but the equivalent of a 1 night stand with a cheap whore, where SWA got a pretty nice lay for $40 mill, gobbling up gates and market share out of Chicago, you ATA guys better start lookn' for work homey...

I think the holding co for ata just bought N american world, southern air and afew others... I think the ATA guys will be ok for awile. might not fly domestic much but they'll fly.

ATA is parking the last 3 L10's. The 4 DC10's are staffed, but they're not getting OE all that fast. The result? ATA is overstaffed with no airplanes coming on the horizon. Lots of folks shown the door in the last couple of months. NAA and World are hiring. World is getting some new airframes this year. Rumors are running pretty wild around ATA right now.
