No, that 25% rumor is from the current 744 rate, which is equal to your 737, so that would mean the new rate would be 25% higher than your current rate, which is where is should be at least. We all know that.
Also, an 8-10% reduction in seats to Europe after Labor Day. That is what the CEO said. How can you get an 8-10% reduction in seats? Hmmmm. Well, if you look at what type of planes will be flying a lot of flights from ATL to Europe this Summer, it would be easy to understand. A330-300s are going to Dublin, Barcelona, Amsterdam, and many other nonstops. This is the first Summer that A330s (300s, not -200s) will be doing a lot of the flying. If after Labor Day you placed a 767-300 on the same routes, with less seats, would that equal an 8-10% reduction in seats? Yes, yes it would. There isn't an 8-10% reduction in planes, only in seats. Capacity to Europe will come down for 3 months. Where will those A330s go then after Labor Day? Maybe to Asia if it has recovered. Maybe to Hawaii. Anywhere but Europe, because that needs an 8-10% reduction in seats (capacity). Thanks for reading.
And there won't be a 10% reduction in narrowbodies, because those 35 DC9s will be replaced by 60 MD90s. But, YOU WANNA BACK IT UP???????? Thanks Hulk Hogan! You are sounding ridiculous. Go back to watch WWE. You probably think it's for real, Sherman.......

I enjoy everyting about this industry, ask Ty, he knows. I get in the middle of all debates. I enjoy it. But, you don't want me to enjoy something, which is sad. I fly a lot to great places, take the wife to great places, but I check my computer a few times each day, use my Android to see what is going on, lift weights, ride my bikes unless there is a storm outside (like today), and get laid. Thanks for caring, and use the ignore switch if you can't take it anymore. Really, try not to get too spooled up. The reason you keep checking my posts is because you are scared of something I might suggest to the Airtran guys, or because you know I am right. Please, throw an ignore down before your lifetime ban. This site is too much fun to be banned. Enjoy it. Live it. Get laid. Lift weights. Ride bikes. Review FI. Give an opinion. Get worked over by General Lee. Go to sleep. Start over. Repeat. Enjoy!

I could give two sh!ts about your int'l ops.
I am saying that due to us kicking you ass in the A-T-L, your narrow body airframes will be down from what they are today by 10%. Easy math. Put your ScreenName where your mouth is.
I repeat:
If your narrow bodies are down by 10% by May1, 2014, you re RETIRED from FI. IF not, I am done?
It's easy.
Back your sh!t up, Double-breasted, gold button, pu$$y boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I say your fleet will decrease by 200% by next week when ALL of your 737s will fall apart on the taxiway in MDW. I can see it happening. Let's BET ON IT!!! I WILL BET EVERYTHING YOU EVER MAKE!!! LET'S DO IT!!!Then, when you lose, you can retire for good from FI, and I will RULE this WEBSITE, FOR GOOD! AH YEAH!
Um, I will continue to comment on FI as long as I want. I enjoy this website, and I am always right, in my mind anyway. Try arbitration, it will be fair for your whole group.

OK, I'll take your bet, but we have to increase the number of years, to 2034. Then, if our fleet isn't 50% Space Shuttle, 30% Sonic Cruiser, and 20% RJ, then YOU WIN. Your Fleet of 100% 717s will be at 48% of where your current numbers are, ok? Deal or No Deal? 2034. Come on now, are you shining your cowboy hat, spitting chaw into a can, and counting your $5 bills for tipping van guys? Deal or no deal Cowboy?

Keep it reasonable, and you're on.
It's on.
You spew your crap, just looking for you to back it up.
DAL is going to hate SWA being in ATL and MEM. We will be thorn in you side from here to eternity. Bet on it!

Thanks tough guy! Keep telling yourself that. You will ALWAYS be #2 in ATL, never to attain the number one spot. You lack gates and short approach opportunities to do that. Get used to that number---#2. Bet on it, cheeseball!

Sixth,
We will have all the gates we need to be a pain in your butt. Bet on it !! We've been #3 in DEN, just moved to #2.
We were WAY, WAY down in BWI for a long time. I think another carrier had a crew base there at one time.
#2 is bueno!!!
#2 has a chance to move up. #1 has only one way to move.

I agree with this statement fo sho. I could see being a little annoying is there were 4 gates. 32 gates? We're going to be a pain in the ass.

Towards the bottom of every email you receive, you will see a link that says "Remove me from ALL subscribed threads". Click it and it will stop all incoming emails from FI. Then just stop coming to the site and voila, no more FI.
Personally, despite our differences on the merger issues, I hope you stay. There is often good information on here, if you can sniff through all the "Mine is bigger than yours" crap.

The most ironic thing about this whole arguement is the fact that it has already played out once before...
When Delta decided to sell a hand full of old DC-9's to a new start up called Valujet. Guess what? Valujet and then Airtran has been a pain in Delta's ass ever since. Now that pain continues with SW taking over...all from selling a couple of planes back in the day.
What a brilliant move on the part of Delta back then, did the guy that approved that deal get a promotion? HaHa.
This is the funniest thing I have ever read on this site. Are people suppose to be impressed with your "4 car garage"? Kinda shows exactly how big a kook you are. Are you the guy who has the flip picture book of all his big boy toys?

Do you really think it will be like nobody else was there, and then out of nowhere a LCC shows up? DL has been dealing with Airtran for years, with all of their 32 or whatever number gates. Southwest will have to start paying those same people twice what they currently make, and then remove the first class section of their seating. You may try to add additional flights per day, but that is limited by what the airport can handle too. DL already handles your competition in SLC, which never did seem to affect DL much. Go ahead, be the pain in the arse that you think you will be, like you are sorta to USAir in PHL, sorta.

Partially correct. Delta did sell Valuejet some DC9s way back when, but they went out of business on their own after the meltdown over Miami. Then a 737 operator, named Airtran and partially owned by Mesaba, merged with them and gave them the name. They have been the LCC answer to people in ATL since then. Had Airtran the 737 operator never merged with Valuejet, they would have been out of the way a long time ago, and those same planes would have gone to the desert. You left out that part, RED.

I beleive the ATL airport gave them the gates. Training? Delta farms out training to a lot of different airlines. Delta now has two huge training facilities, and it is common to see a lot of INTL crews walking around. World Airways does MD11 stuff there, and Aeromexico too. Speaking of farming out training, isn't that how most SWA guys got hired? Saving SWA big bucks from not having to spend money on what normally is a "congrats" for having the qualifications we are looking for? Instead, most pay and continue this terrible practice. SHAME ON YOU SWA, SHAME ON YOU.
