Southwest purchases LaGuardia Slots

[GuppyWN]

Gup,

I know you're just taking a swipe at the General - and he needs many - but posts like yours are what give Southwest a bad name on message boards for "we're the best" arrogance.

Time to give the other airline bashing a rest. We have much to learn ourselves.

Ben. I'm not bashing Delta. I'm bashing the General. Two totally separate things. imp: I love Delta. Who can't love a bunch of rednecks that fly jets. Seriously. I know rednecks because I am one. Hell, I was hired to wear that double breasted chick magnet.

If I offend you, sorry about that. Not trying to make WN look bad in the least. Gary's got that covered that past couple weeks. If I offend the General, he'll just fire back about Rio or Rome or some sh!t and we'll all have a chuckle and start the cycle over. He digs me - in a weird kinda way. I know it.

The shuttle will be like the Texas 2 step. PVD-LGA-PVD-BWI-LGA-BWI-MDW-LGA-MDW...so on so forth.

Red,

You mean we're going to add another NE 2-step?? MHT-PHL-PIT-PHL-MHT-PHL-PVD isn't enough? I can imagine trying to point out what the landmarks are when ATC asks us "Do you have the bridge in sight?" and Captain looks dumb founded. I may not be worth much cross cockpit on the circle at MDW, but I'm sure I can keep up at LGA. Ah..forget it...I'll just bid LBB instead. I'm sure the revision(s) for LGA will give me enough headaches.

Hey, I can take it. This board is mostly for entertainment, and sparring with you guys about LBB and ELP is fun. While you guys do unbelievable 3 and 4 days worth lots of time, I continue to work on my tan on 37 hour unproductive layovers in Buenos Aires, or drink disgusting German beer, IN GERMANY. But it sure doesn't beat the Mexican food you get in the El Paso airport I bet?

And, I do dig you guys, but not in a weird way. If you thought otherwise, I suggest "don't ask, don't tell." Hasta la pasta!

Bye Bye--General Lee

I rest my case. :beer:

you gotta hand it to the General, he actually is pretty funny.

with that said (and I am a fan of SWA), everyone has to agree that SWA's entry to LaGuardia is going to be interesting to see how it plays out.....

You know General, El Paso actually serves Tex-Mex.

You still work here....I thought you were building sand castles in the desert. I have not done the NE 2 step yet. I try to avoid PHL at all costs. I do have to say I am above 70% when it comes to getting in and out of there on-time, so I do not hold too much of a grudge against it.

 

[reepicheep]

Because they sure have been packing it in at PHL since SWA moved in.......................

Oh I forgot, ONE time they actually stood up to Southwest. How about the PSA West Coast, the MCI mini-hub, all intra-Florida flying, BWI, and (next), LAS & PHX.

 

[Tejas-Jet]

Looks like we'll have to get another donation ready to buy a flat screen TV for the LGA tower controllers breakroom.

And I guess I'll cook at the "surprise" Bar-B-Q cookout we'll have for them. Maybe we can invite them down to the annual Burgers and Beer party in Dallas next June.

 

[GuppyWN]

Maybe we should wait until the bids are opened and the "winner" has been decided.

Gup,

Did you notice who got named to the SWA board today? I think we already know who the winner is

 

[GuppyWN]

LOL... Yeah I noticed. Ole Johnny is baaaaaaaaaaack. Once you get in the club it's almost impossible to get kicked out. Just Gary's way of saying thanks I guess.

I don't know what you guys are talking about, LGA is deader than a doornail since the reductions.

General....you are still my hero!!!!! LOL!!!

"I continue to work on my tan on 37 hour unproductive layovers."

That remark sounds about as intelligent as the ones I heard countless times from F/A's:

" OH GREAT! We only have 30 people! "

Yay!

I can't understand why these airlines keep going T/U (?)

Although I must admit, I really used to enjoy my 48 hours off in Guadalajara.....Right up until the end anyway.

DOH!
