Actually, the guy who started this thread either copied it from someplace or is wasting his talents flying airplanes. That was well done, albeit a bit chest-thumping.
While I don't begrudge anyone's success, many posters before this response have said it far more eloquently than I. Remember, it's really fun when you're growing up, but sometime, the reality of being grown up and it's inherent problems begin to set in. Even though SWA has been around for a relatively long time, it hasn't been around for a relatively long time, either. At some time, the juggernaut will plateau and the same old human and business realities will be there too. To reject this prediction is to deny history. To believe "it won't happen to me/us is akin to my teenagers absolutely convinced that they'll live forever and are somehow immune to the pitfalls of living.
It's a great airline and business model, but it's not the be-all and end-all of aviation. Think I'm wrong? Time will tell.
Be well.
