Southwest is NOT a major

[Uncle Bunkle]

Why is Southwest in the Majors forum? That should be restricted to the original Big 6 airlines, not some LCC that flies domestic only. Wake up Mods!

Bunkle's comments are...well, nothing but bunk.

SWA does fly International. Maybe it is you Uncle that needs to wake up. I see that someone else has already schooled you as to what the definition of a "Major" is.

Give him a little credit, it seems like he's desperately trying to resurrect a dying place.

He's an idiot and they let him fly planes.

Sorry, but I disagree. All he does is necro-post, and make what are clearly non-serious, smartass posts to other threads. As near as I can tell, he's never contributed any actual news, serious discussion or valid argument, or any actual help to anyone else on the board.

His necro-posting annoys people, especially when they don't notice the date and think it's actually pertinent, and his smart-ass posts tend to shut the threads down. Or, people just ignore him. All, that is, but his alter-ego Freebrd, who eggs him/himself on, and posts the exact same kind of inane BS. I think that instead of "resurrect[ing] a dying place," he's instead just hastening its demise.

What did you do to earn his wrath, Bubba? Did you kick his dog or something?

 

[Uncle Bunkle]

Actually Bubba bought me a hot dog a few trips back, but I still think he's goofy.

Kick his dog? You mean Freebrd?

Actually, I just pointed out about 15 or 20 necro-posts that he made, mentioned that it wasn't funny after the 50th time in a row, and since then he seems to have latched on to using my screen name as a prop for his smartass comments. You need only read the next post after yours to see this.

Or, you need only check out his revived thread from 2002, titled "737 Operators" to see what I mean about necro-posting. Or even his "SWA Cp Info" thread. He makes a post to a 10-15 year old thread, pretending that it's current. He did two tonight; he's must be bored or something. That makes about 97 times now. He's a regular one-trick pony for sure.

A sad life he must lead! Even sadder is his pathetic attempt at humor.

So why is Envoy, Skywest not in the major cat?

Some of you SWA types need to relax. Have a beer or three. Wow.
