PHL for SWA

[flx757]

I agreed with CoopDog on his point about delays at PHL on another thread. Now, I don't know anything about Bourbon Chicken and Flied Lice, but I agree that PHL is one of the most delay prone airports on the East Coast, and this venture seems to be a departure from SWA's usual MO.

But then again, so are the probings for 100 seat aircraft. However, we all know this is a new world we're in, now. So everyone can expect the unexpected.

Hate to say it but this is the last nail in the coffin for US Airways. The goldmine for U is no more.

Holly craploa!!!!! (I bet Seagull is saying the same thing)

Hey I guessed ABE, do I get points for being close? Stick a final fork in U, we're done for, this time for good. The only thing I can say is, wait until SWA gets a load of the typical Philly workers' attitude, they don't call Philly the "fattest, most lazy city in America" for nothing. Plus I like the article in the Philly paper today where a SWA person said "they'll be able to land, taxi into E terminal, reload/refuel, push, taxi out and takeoff all within 30 min". Yeah right buddy, you can't even do a touch and go in PHL in 30 min. They'll learn, but the bottom line, NOT GOOD FOR U.

I found this on another message board. I have no idea where it came from, or if it's valid. Mavbe PHL isn't the worst afterall.

Regardless, it's a good way to change the subject from classes not beginning until the summer!
