It's always a good thing when a for-profit company actually makes a profit. Though I wouldn't break my arm patting myself on the back just yet.
I suppose if almost every other passenger airline is losing money than any profit is seen as a major victory. The reality is that 62M out of a revenue of 2 Billion is not spectacular. In fact 62M is tenous based on the size of SWA. UPS just posted almost 1 B earnings...now thats SPECTACULAR (and I don't even work for them).
I don't say this to be a d!ck...I just get tired of some of the smugness that is shown by a select few, and certainly not all, of the SWA guys.
As of print this news was rewarded with an almost 3% stock price decrease.
